Ideal Applicant
State or regional caregiver coalitions, advocacy or research groups working on caregiving conversion initiatives, or national partners collaborating on the Changing Care Conversion Project.
Good Fit
- • Work directly related to caregiving policy, respite, or caregiver supports tied to the Changing Care Conversion Project
- • State or regional coalition or intermediary organization serving older adults or caregivers
- • Capacity to partner with a national coordinating organization
- • Requests in the small-to-midsize grant range (roughly $15k–$25k) or specific program funding
- • Prior relationship or credible referral into the funder’s network
Geography
Grants in the latest year went to organizations across roughly ten states plus DC, and about 95% of dollars were awarded outside the foundation's home state, indicating a national multi‑state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The funder supported about ten distinct organizations in 2024 with similar counts in prior years, showing a moderate spread of independent recipients even though a single national grantee captured a large share of dollars.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is limited but present (one new recipient in the latest year); there is no formal application process posted, though a public contact form and staff contacts exist, so new entrants appear plausible but selection seems relationship- and project-driven.
