Ideal Applicant
An adult living with cystic fibrosis in financial hardship who meets the foundation's published eligibility (U.S. residency or treatment at a U.S. clinic, age 18+, documentation from a CF doctor/clinic), or a small program that provides direct, individual assistance closely aligned with those needs.
Good Fit
- • Applicant is an adult with cystic fibrosis and can provide CF doctor/clinic information.
- • Request is for direct assistance (medical bills, living costs, fertility/IVF, adoption) and includes amount requested and justification of hardship.
- • Request falls in the small-grant range (most awards under $5K, some up to ~$25K) and can be documented quickly.
- • Applicant is located in or receives treatment in North Carolina (higher probability) or elsewhere in the U.S. with clear clinic ties.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily concentrated in North Carolina (about 81% of dollars and roughly 82% of grants) despite one-off awards to recipients in 13 states, indicating a primarily local footprint.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made 88 grants to 88 distinct recipients including many individual aid recipients and a few charitable organizations, which represents a broad and varied recipient set for the foundation's size; multi-year breadth is limited by short observed history.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes application instructions and a request form, lists contact details, and all 88 recipients in the latest year were new, so direct evidence and public process both point to genuine accessibility for unfamiliar applicants; longer-term turnover cannot be assessed from the short record.
