Ideal Applicant
Small-to-mid sized youth-serving nonprofits, especially those working with males under age 21 in California (notably Los Angeles/Orange/Riverside counties), seeking modest general operating support.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving needy males under age 21.
- • Located in California, preferably within the Los Angeles/Orange/Riverside region.
- • Requesting general operating support in the ~$5k–$10k range.
- • Willing and able to submit via an online application portal and meet quarterly deadlines.
- • New or small organizations (the fund supports many first-time recipients).
Geography
Observed grants appeared in nine states, but the vast majority of dollars (about 93%) were awarded to California organizations and the fund’s stated practice focuses on Los Angeles/Orange/Riverside counties, indicating a primarily state/region-focused footprint with occasional out-of-state awards.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 121 distinct recipients and added 87 new organizations, demonstrating a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness is strong: the foundation’s web presence includes application guidelines, an online CyberGrants portal and quarterly deadlines, and 72% of 2024 recipients were new; however, filings also note grants are to preselected applicants, so public application plus high new-recipient turnover together suggest new entrants are plausibly able to gain funding.
