Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charitable organizations seeking modest general-purpose or operating support in areas like community service, youth development, education, or health, with the ability to accept unrestricted gifts and to make a concise unsolicited request.
Good Fit
- • Requesting general operating or program support at modest sizes (typically under $10K).
- • Work in community service, youth programs, education, health, or scouting-related activities.
- • Ability to submit a brief, well-documented request by mail or phone and provide nonprofit status documentation.
- • Willingness to be one of many small grantees rather than a multi-year major partner.
Geography
Observed grants span seven states with most dollars going out of the foundation's home state; the latest year shows multi-state distribution even though one state received about a third of dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 11 distinct independent recipients and across three years the foundation funded increasing numbers of different organizations; although the top five captured 66% of dollars, many independent charities across education, health, youth, and community service were supported.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows high turnover with all 11 recipients in the latest year being new, and a public submission route (named contact, mailing address, phone, rolling deadline, and 'no specific format required') is documented; direct multi-year openness is supported by repeated newcomer funding.
