Ideal Applicant
A small Pennsylvania-based hospice or human-services charity that delivers direct services (meals, cards, patient support) and can make use of modest one-time grants.
Good Fit
- • Located in Pennsylvania (in-state)
- • Provides hospice, palliative, or direct patient services such as meals and cards
- • Has an existing local relationship or introduction to the foundation or prior grantees
- • Seeks relatively small, one-time grants (tens to low hundreds of dollars up to under $1,000)
Geography
All observed grants in both 2022 and 2023 went to organizations in Pennsylvania, with a 100% in-state share in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows five distinct recipients (three returning from the prior year and two new), mostly independent hospice and human-service providers; for a micro private foundation this is a modest but not tiny recipient set, albeit mission-narrow and dollar-concentrated.
New Applicants
The foundation states it funds only preselected organizations and provides no public website or visible contact route; although two new recipients appeared in 2023, direct evidence of an open application path is lacking, so unfamiliar applicants would likely need a referral or prior relationship to be considered.
