Ideal Applicant
Established education-focused nonprofit or university foundation, or a small local social-service or animal-welfare group with a prior relationship or introduction into the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Clear education mission or university affiliation (previous large grants went to university foundations).
- • Capacity to receive a mid-size institutional gift (typical large grants observed were $25,000).
- • An existing relationship, prior contact, or introduction into the funder’s network.
- • Programs aligned with social services, veterans support, or animal rescue as demonstrated by past recipients.
Geography
Giving is multi-state rather than strictly local: recent grants went to organizations in California, New Jersey and Nevada (and prior years included Hawaii), with the foundation’s 2024 grants being entirely out-of-state recipients.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a modest set of distinct recipients each year (4 in 2022, 7 in 2023, 3 in 2024) spanning universities and small local nonprofits, showing a mixed but not extensive recipient spread for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected recipients and the latest-year pattern shows mostly returning grantees (two returning, one new), so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to gain entry absent a direct relationship or invitation.
