Ideal Applicant
Nonprofits focused on education, youth development, after-school enrichment, or related human-service programs, especially those with demonstrated impact and capacity to manage mid- to large-size awards.
Good Fit
- • Clear mission alignment with youth, education, or after-school programming.
- • Evidence of measurable outcomes and organizational capacity to absorb sizable grants.
- • Operations or program presence in states the foundation has funded (notably California and Florida) or national reach.

Geography
Recent grants span about ten states and include national organizations, though the most recent year was dollar-concentrated in California (roughly 62% of 2024 dollars).
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded roughly two dozen distinct recipients in the latest year and similarly high counts in prior years, with new grantees appearing each year and supported program types including education, youth services, health, and human services.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes published application instructions, a named contact with mailing and phone details, and 15 new recipients in the latest year, indicating unfamiliar applicants can and do enter the portfolio, although several very large awards concentrate funding.
