Ideal Applicant
Mid‑to‑large national or state nonprofit intermediaries, disaster relief organizations, food‑security networks, community foundations, or education initiatives with capacity to absorb general operating or large program grants and that operate in places where Boeing employees live or work.
Good Fit
- • Organizational capacity to manage large general operating grants or multi‑year programs.
- • Work in disaster relief, international humanitarian aid, food security, education, or human services.
- • Programs operating in states or metro areas where Boeing has employees.
- • Experience partnering with corporate funders or acting as a conduit/intermediary for large-scale relief.
Geography
The latest year shows grants to recipients in seven states; the foundation is Illinois‑based but almost all dollars went out of state in 2023, with one recipient in DC receiving about half of that year's dollars.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded eight distinct recipients in 2023 (nine in 2022) including national intermediaries and community foundations, and three organizations returned from the prior year; however dollars are heavily concentrated in a few large grants.
New Applicants
A public application pathway and contact names/phone/address are published and the 2023 grants included five new recipients, indicating that unfamiliar applicants have plausibly entered the portfolio; observed history covers two years so turnover is directly visible.
