Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized Pennsylvania-based charity—often faith‑based or local human‑services/school organizations—with existing ties or introductions into the foundation's local network and a typical ask under $25,000.
Good Fit
- • Located in Pennsylvania (especially the Philadelphia/Delaware County region).
- • Religious or faith‑based mission or Catholic school / pregnancy center / local human services focus.
- • Request sizes in the low thousands to mid‑five figures.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or endorsement from a current grantee or local contact.
- • Track record of serving the same communities the foundation has supported.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in one state—about 85% of dollars went to Pennsylvania in 2023—while a handful of smaller grants went to four other states, indicating a state‑level focus with limited out‑of‑state activity.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 15 distinct recipients in 2023 (and 13 in 2022), with a substantial number of first‑time grantees in the latest year, which shows a fairly broad set of independent beneficiaries for a micro private foundation despite dollar concentration among the top five.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of frequent new grantees exists (ten new recipients in 2023), but the foundation also states it only funds preselected applicants and provides no public application route, so new entrants appear possible but typically via referral or invitation rather than an open application.
