Ideal Applicant
Colleges, scholarship administrators, educational nonprofits, or programs serving economically disadvantaged students, Indigenous communities, or people with disabilities that propose clearly defined educational uses for funds.
Good Fit
- • A clearly articulated educational purpose or scholarship program for disadvantaged students.
- • Capacity to receive institutional grants (e.g., college, university foundation, scholarship intermediary).
- • Work serving people with disabilities or Indigenous communities.
- • A defined project budget and named beneficiary population included in a typewritten application letter.
- • Ability to manage awards across a range of sizes (from a few thousand to several hundred thousand dollars).
Geography
In the latest year grants went to recipients across 29 U.S. states and Canadian provinces; although Florida received 37% of dollars, 63% of funding went out of state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 91 distinct recipients including colleges, scholarship intermediaries, specialized schools and community programs, with the top five recipients accounting for 37% of dollars but many other independent grantees funded.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of multi-year turnover is unavailable, but the foundation publishes application instructions, accepts typewritten letters to a named contact, and does not restrict funding to preselected grantees, making entry by unfamiliar applicants plausibly realistic.
