Ideal Applicant
A small local youth-development or sports nonprofit in Valparaiso/Northwest Indiana with established local partnerships and capacity to manage grants in the ~$20K range.
Good Fit
- • Located in Valparaiso or immediate Northwest Indiana region.
- • Programs focused on youth mentorship, after-school activities, or basketball/sports programming.
- • Existing relationships or partnerships with local institutions (e.g., Boys & Girls Clubs, Victory Bell Club).
- • Budget and project needs align with $20K–$25K single-grant scale.
- • Ability to showcase local impact and strong ties to foundation leadership or board members.
Geography
In the latest observed year all grant dollars were distributed to a recipient in Valparaiso, Indiana, and giving was entirely in-state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows only one distinct recipient funded (two grants to the same organization), so observed recipient breadth is very narrow in that year.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is unavailable due to a single year of data, but the foundation's filings state grants are by preselection only; combined with the single funded recipient in the latest year, unsolicited new applicants appear unlikely to be accepted.
