Ideal Applicant
A California-based nonprofit or charitable intermediary with an established local profile and demonstrated alignment with youth, community service, health, or sports-related activities; ideally already known to the foundation or introduced through a trusted intermediary.
Good Fit
- • Located in California (in-state organizations received the vast majority of dollars).
- • Programs for children, youth development, community services, health, or sports/community engagement.
- • Capacity to manage mid-size grants (typical awards in recent years ranged from about $10K to $100K).
- • Existing relationship or introduction to the foundation, its officers, or known intermediaries.
Geography
Recent years show heavy in-state concentration: nearly all 2024 dollars (about 97%) went to one state with only two states represented in that year.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple independent recipients each year (29 distinct in 2023, 11 in 2022, and 10 in 2024), indicating a broadly distributed recipient set rather than a single beneficiary.
New Applicants
The foundation's filings and application metadata indicate it operates by preselecting recipients rather than accepting open applications; although many new organizations have appeared in past years, the explicit 'only preselected' policy strongly suggests unsolicited applicants are unlikely to be funded.
