Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Operating support to local Urban League affiliates nationwide
Regrants to Indianapolis CDCs redistributing cash to small businesses
Neighborhood community centers and multi-service centers in Indianapolis
Black churches and denominational bodies as small-business intermediaries
Indiana universities and community foundations as program partners
Youth, workforce, and housing nonprofits in Marion County

Typical grant

Median grant is $62,500, with the middle half between $10,000 and $219,128. The seven-figure checks go almost entirely to established Urban League affiliates in large metros, topping out around $2.6 million, while the Indianapolis small-business regranting partners cluster at round numbers between $150,000 and $1,055,000. With 719 grants to 496 recipients over three years, most affiliates and Indianapolis partners appear more than once, so this is repeat, relationship-based giving rather than one-time awards.
