Ideal Applicant

Established nonprofits or university program units seeking program or general operating support in areas the foundation has funded (education/scholarships, reproductive health, victim services, STEM, refugee support), with typical request sizes in the low five-figure range.

Good Fit

  • Project or operating request sized roughly $10K–$60K.
  • Work in education, scholarships, reproductive health, victim aid, STEM education, or refugee/poverty relief.
  • Ability to submit through an online application portal and meet a June 15 application deadline.
  • Evidence of organizational stability and capacity (foundation frequently funds established charities).

Geography

Broad

In the latest year grants went to organizations in seven states; California received about one-third of dollars but meaningful awards were also made to New York, Nevada, Texas and others, indicating a multi-state footprint.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The foundation funded two dozen-plus distinct recipients in the latest year (24 recipients, 27 grants) across many mission areas; while the top five recipients account for about 40% of dollars, the number and diversity of grantees show a broad recipient set for the foundation's size.

New Applicants

Broad

A public online application process with a stated application window is posted and new grantees continue to appear (six new recipients in the most recent year and historical new-recipient rates in prior years), so unfamiliar applicants have a clear, evidence-supported path to apply.
