Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit serving children or youth (early literacy, child health/safety, infant wellbeing) with demonstrable program impact and capacity to receive unrestricted or in-kind support, ideally with a regional or national footprint.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on infants, child safety, or early literacy and youth development.
- • Ability to use unrestricted or in-kind support effectively.
- • Geographic reach or partnerships that align with the foundation's multi-state giving.
- • Track record of measurable service delivery for children and families.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year reached recipients in 27 states, with funds distributed across many regions and a single state representing about a quarter of dollars; the footprint is clearly multi-state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 102 grants to 77 distinct organizations and the foundation funded many independent charities rather than a tiny closed set; although the top five took 40% of dollars, the portfolio remains broad for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness appears strong: many new recipients were added (34 new in 2024 and a very high new-recipient rate in 2023) and a public online request/application form and contact email are present; the site language saying 'preselected only' conflicts with observed turnover, so observed behavior indicates new applicants have been admitted.
