Ideal Applicant
A small California-based nonprofit with local ties (especially to Masonic or community service networks) working on homelessness or community/fraternal programs and seeking modest, general-support grants.
Good Fit
- • Located in California and visible to local Masonic lodges or the bureau.
- • Focus on homeless services or community/fraternal youth and service clubs.
- • Comfort with small, one-off general-support awards.
- • Existing relationship or introduction to foundation officers or affiliated lodges.
Geography
Observed giving in both available years is confined to California; all grants reported were in-state, indicating a local geographic footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows four distinct grantees and across two years three recipients recur, producing a small, repeat-focused portfolio of modest-sized awards rather than a broad, diverse grantset.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly notes funding is for preselected recipients; while one new grantee appeared in the latest year, the behavioral pattern plus the 'preselected only' statement indicate unsolicited applicants are unlikely to be accepted.
