Key takeaways

  • This foundation's priority is Central & South Mississippi and Coastal Alabama, so make sure your work sits in one of those areas before applying.
  • Most grants are modest: about 8 in 10 of its 153 grants to organisations fall between $3,000 and $20,000, the median grant was $10,000, and the foundation itself recommends an application amount of $5,000, so pitch your request at that scale rather than aiming for its one outsized $8,000,000 grant to a regranting community foundation.
  • Applications are available on request and are considered in two fixed rounds, February and August, so plan your approach around those dates.
  • None of its grant dollars to organisations in its latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in the two previous filings, suggesting this is not a relationship-led funder reliant on repeat grantees, so new applicants need not be put off by having no prior history with it.
  • The one clear exclusion is that it does not fund a private foundation, so bodies that are themselves private foundations should not apply.
