Gives only in PA. Every grant it reported went to a single state. If you are outside it, this is not a prospect. If you are inside it, that is the strongest signal on this page: a funder with a local mandate and less competition from out of state.
Not in the current IRS exempt-organisation registry. The grants below were reported, but this EIN does not appear in the IRS list of organisations in good standing today. It may have closed, merged or lost its status. Check before you spend time on it.
This foundation funds faith-based organizations. 3 of its 51 reported grants went to churches, ministries or other religious organizations, $110K in total. That is what it paid, not what it says in a policy.
Gives every year. This foundation reported grants in 2023, 2024, 2025. A funder that shows up year after year is worth a letter even if this year is a no.
