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
- Career pathways: workforce training, apprenticeships, community college credentials
- Small business support: CDFIs, minority entrepreneurs, capital access
- Disaster relief through national intermediaries and community foundations
- Thriving communities: food banks, youth services, neighborhood revitalization
- Special programs including employee relief funds and scholarships
Typical grant
The median grant is $25,000 and half of all grants fall between $12,500 and $50,000, so the overwhelming bulk of the 1,754 grants are local operating checks in the five figures. The seven-figure money goes to national intermediaries doing disaster response and field-building work, like Center for Disaster Philanthropy at $21.5 million and Strada Collaborative at $4.4 million. With 1,754 grants to 1,669 recipients, most organizations appear once in the three-year window, so repeat giving is the exception rather than the norm.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “BUILDING CAREER PATHWAYS TO”
- “STRENGTHENING SMALL”
- “THRIVING COMMUNITIES”
- “DISASTER RELIEF”
- “SPECIAL PROGRAMS”
Positioning adjacent work
- Frame research as building career pathways with a credential or job placement outcome, not as study.
- Ask $50,000 to $100,000 unless you bring a national intermediary partner; seven figures goes to established networks.
- University asks land under STRENGTHENING SMALL business: Georgia State got $307,500, Old Dominion Research Foundation $150,000.
- Anchor the work in NC, FL, GA, VA, or MD, where the footprint concentrates.
Worth knowing: This is a bank foundation and giving tracks the Truist branch map, with North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, and Maryland holding nearly 60 percent of recipients. A single 2024 disaster relief grant of $21.5 million to Center for Disaster Philanthropy, likely Hurricane Helene response, distorts the totals; the working reality for most applicants is a $25,000 community check tied to one of four named themes.
