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
- Workforce development and job training for underserved adults
- Affordable housing, CDFIs, and community development finance
- Health nonprofits: heart, cancer, diabetes, hospital foundations
- Community colleges, HBCUs, and postsecondary access programs
- Civil rights and Hispanic/Black community organizations
- Arts, museums, and hunger relief in bank-market cities
Typical grant
The median grant is $500 and half of everything falls between $105 and $1,100, which reflects tens of thousands of employee matching gifts and small local checks. Real institutional money sits at $250,000, a very common ceiling for national programs, community colleges, and CDFIs, with a handful of $1M to $2.5M awards to national health charities and Charlotte anchors. Large recipients recur year over year and often appear more than once in a single year with separate awards.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “PROGRAM/OPERATING SUPPORT”
- “workforce development”
- “community development”
- “economic mobility”
Positioning adjacent work
- Anchor the ask to jobs, skills, or economic mobility outcomes rather than to research findings alone.
- Ask $250,000 for a named program; that is their standard institutional grant size.
- Partner with a community college, CDFI, or health nonprofit already in their portfolio.
- Emphasize Charlotte, or a major bank market like NY, CA, TX, FL, MA.
Worth knowing: This is corporate giving run through a foundation, so decisions track bank markets and existing relationships, not open review; Charlotte is heavily favored relative to its size. The 34,000-recipient tail is mostly matching gifts and disaster or United Way giving, so the count of grants overstates how many organizations have a real funding relationship.
