Ideal Applicant
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on education, state or national public-policy work, or legal/constitutional education that advances free-enterprise and limited-government principles and can absorb grants in the $10K–$50K range.
Good Fit
- • Clear mission alignment with education about constitutional government, free enterprise, or limited government.
- • Organizational track record at the national or state policy level (think tanks, policy institutes, educational programs).
- • Capacity to manage mid-sized grants and to provide an IRS determination letter with a proposal.
- • Willingness to engage in programs or materials for civic or constitutional education rather than capital projects.
Geography
In the latest year grants were distributed across about 16 states and DC, with most dollars flowing to organizations in Virginia and Washington, DC but substantial out-of-state giving overall.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded roughly 60 distinct organizations in the latest year and maintained a similar breadth across three years, showing a broad recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness exists: a public application page, rolling proposal submissions, and 19 new recipients in the latest year (about 31% new), indicating unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path into the portfolio.
