Ideal Applicant

Organizations working in civil rights, human services, health/reproductive access, refugee support, or local environmental community projects that can absorb modest to mid-sized grants and are likely to be visible to trustees or intermediaries.

Good Fit

  • Mission alignment with civil rights, community health, refugee relief, or local environmental projects.
  • Track record managing grants in the $2.5K–$20K range.
  • Relationships with funders' trustees, known intermediaries, or local/regional funder networks.
  • Clear, documentable program outcomes that can be quickly reviewed during an invitation process.

Geography

Broad

Over the observed years the foundation funded recipients in many different states (examples include CA, NY, DC, HI, OH, AL, MA, NC), showing a multi-state footprint even though the latest year had grants in two states.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The foundation supported multiple distinct independent recipients each year (3 in 2022, 5 in 2023, 2 in 2024) with no repeat grantees across the three-year window, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set for a micro foundation.

New Applicants

Moderate

Behaviorally the funder frequently added new grantees (all or most recipients in recent years were new), which shows willingness to fund unfamiliar organizations, but the foundation also states grants are preselected/invite-only and no public application route was found, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to enter without introductions or intermediaries.
