Ideal Applicant
A small faith-based or medical/child-welfare nonprofit with an existing relationship or referral to the foundation, running discrete projects (medical missions, aid for indigent populations, church-based programs) and seeking one-time or small multi-year grants.
Good Fit
- • Faith-based mission or church-affiliated programming
- • Medical assistance for indigent populations, including international medical missions
- • Child welfare or foster-care services, especially in Colorado
- • A pre-existing relationship, board connection, or referral to the foundation
- • Requests sized in the small-to-midsize grant range (hundreds to tens of thousands)
Geography
Giving in the latest year reached recipients in three states (including out-of-state and some international activity) but is concentrated: one state received about 68% of dollars, so the footprint is multi-state but regionally concentrated.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct recipients across faith-based, medical, and child-welfare purposes, and several new grantees appeared that year; however, dollar concentration is high with one recipient receiving most funds.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly declares it funds only preselected applicants; although several new grantees appear in the observed years, the stated preselection policy and relationship-driven pattern make it unlikely that an unfamiliar organization can successfully access funding without referral.
