Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized bat rescue or wildlife rehabilitation organization with clear rescue/rehabilitation programs and measurable outcomes, seeking modest project or program support.
Good Fit
- • Direct mission alignment with bat rescue, rehabilitation, or sanctuary operations.
- • Clear, project-specific budget requests in the modest grant range (roughly $10K–$25K).
- • Established rescue operations and documentation of animal care outcomes.
- • Accreditation or respected sector credentials (for example, sanctuary accreditation).
- • Willingness to engage via informal, relationship-building outreach (email, phone, or referral).
Geography
While the sanctuary is based in Texas, recorded grants went to recipient organizations in Florida and Pennsylvania, so giving is not strictly local but the geographic reach is limited and sporadic.
Recipient Variety
Across the four-year record the foundation made only one recorded grant in 2021 and one in 2023 to two distinct independent recipients; the overall recipient set is very small.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of regular newcomer access is limited, but the funder has funded different outside bat-rescue groups in observed years; no formal application path was found, so newcomer access appears possible but informal and relationship-driven.
