Ideal Applicant
An organization that fits the foundation's employee-matching and small direct-gift profile (community service, education, health, youth or local nonprofit) and can be nominated or noticed by firm employees or corporate giving staff.
Good Fit
- • Programs aligned with community service, education, health, youth development, or local civic needs.
- • Ability to participate in or be nominated for an employee matching program.
- • Track record of local impact or existing relationships with corporate staff or volunteers.
- • Capacity to receive smaller one-time gifts or restricted project support.
Geography
The latest year shows grants to recipients in 32 states with a national spread and the largest state receiving about 23% of dollars, indicating multi-state/national reach.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made 252 grants to 243 distinct recipients, with a substantial number of small employee-matching gifts and 130 new recipients observed, showing a broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows many new recipients, but the foundation explicitly declares it only funds preselected recipients and no public application route is provided, so unfamiliar organizations cannot rely on submitting a standard application.
