Ideal Applicant
An independent (often religious-affiliated) K–12 or secondary school in California seeking scholarship or general operating support.
Good Fit
- • Located in California or serving California students
- • Requesting scholarship or tuition-assistance funding for independent/private school students
- • Can provide a signed, dated application with school demographics, student demographics, tuition assistance program details, and financials
- • Track record of serving independent-school students and clear budget/financial documents
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in California — roughly 87% of 2024 dollars — though a few out-of-state grants appear, so the observed footprint is primarily state-focused.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 33 distinct recipients in 2024 (similar counts in prior years) across schools and some higher-education institutions, indicating a broad set of independent grantees rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness exists: the latest year included 11 new recipients and the filings provide explicit application instructions, a deadline, and mailing/phone contact, so unfamiliar applicants (especially CA independent schools) have a realistic path to apply.
