Ideal Applicant
A small, local community nonprofit or service club in coastal San Luis Obispo County (or nearby California communities) seeking modest, one-time donations for community service, food drives, hardship support, or similar grassroots activities.
Good Fit
- • Located in California, preferably in or near San Luis Obispo/Arroyo Grande/Pismo Beach area.
- • Requesting a small donation (typically under $5,000).
- • Clear local community service, food security, or hardship relief purpose.
- • Can submit a concise written request and provide evidence of charitable status if requested.
Geography
Giving in the latest year was heavily concentrated in California (about 94% of dollars) with only very small out-of-state awards, indicating a locally focused geographic footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct, independent recipients (and seven new recipients that year), which indicates a modestly broad set of beneficiaries for a micro private foundation despite dollar concentration among the top five.
New Applicants
Behavior shows active entry by newcomers (seven new recipients in 2023) and a visible submission route: the filing and contact record request written applications on a rolling basis, so unfamiliar local organizations have demonstrable precedent for receiving grants.
