Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize conservation or wildlife nonprofit with established programs (rehabilitation, aquaria, habitat protection) requesting modest operating or program support (around $5K) and with presence or partnerships in the states the foundation has funded.
Good Fit
- • Work explicitly focused on wildlife preservation, rehabilitation, or conservation education.
- • A funding request in the modest range (circa $5,000) for general operating or a defined program.
- • Organizational presence or demonstrated impact in one of the states the foundation has funded (notably Oregon).
- • An existing relationship, prior funding history, or credible referral from regional conservation networks or the listed trustee bank.
Geography
Observed grants span four states (Oregon, Washington, Ohio, Minnesota) with nearly half of dollars going to Oregon, so giving is multi-state but regionally concentrated.
Recipient Variety
Each year the foundation funded six distinct, independent charities; that is a moderate number of recipients, though the same six organizations were funded repeatedly.
New Applicants
Direct giving behavior shows no new recipients over three observed years, which suggests limited turnover; although an application packet can be requested, historical evidence indicates low likelihood of newcomers entering the portfolio.
