Ideal Applicant
Organizations focused on empowerment of low-income women, environmental policy work, philanthropy-related programs, or faith-based initiatives with demonstrated track record and financial controls.
Good Fit
- • Clear program alignment with women’s empowerment, environmental policy, or philanthropy promotion.
- • Ability to accept unrestricted operating support or general-purpose grants.
- • Demonstrated fiscal stability and a history of delivering measurable results.
- • Regional or national reach (many grantees are out-of-state) or established relationships with foundation staff/advisors.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached roughly 30 states and the majority of dollars were awarded outside the foundation state, indicating a national, multi-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 131 distinct recipients and over three years shows a mix of returning organizations and dozens of new grantees, demonstrating a broad and varied recipient set despite some dollar concentration at the top.
New Applicants
The foundation publicly posts an application form but also states it funds only preselected applicants; observed grant history shows new recipients each year (31 new in 2024), so unfamiliar applicants can occasionally enter the portfolio but unsolicited access is not clearly open.
