Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit working on at-risk youth, foster-care support, mentoring (including children impacted by incarceration), or STEM education for foster youth, with capacity to manage grants in the $25K–$50K range and a regional presence in the states the foundation has funded.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving foster youth, aged-out foster youth, or mentoring for children affected by incarceration.
- • Clear, measurable program activities that align with the foundation’s named initiatives (Bright Futures, Champions of Change, STEM kits).
- • Ability to manage a single-year grant in the $25K–$50K range.
- • Operational presence or program delivery in the states where the foundation has recently funded.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to two states (Maryland and California) and the prior year grant was in Pennsylvania; 75% of 2023 dollars went to one state, indicating a regional/multi-state footprint rather than a single-city focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows three distinct independent recipients (plus a different recipient the prior year) and grant sizes ranged from $25K–$50K; this is a moderate spread of independent grantees for a small foundation, not a large diversified portfolio.
New Applicants
Behaviorally the foundation funded three new organizations in 2023 and did not repeat grantees from 2022, which shows openness to new recipients, but the foundation also indicates a preference for preselected grantees on its application materials, making true public openness unclear.
