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

General operating support to local Boys & Girls Club affiliates
Large metro club organizations: Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles area
Indiana county and small-city clubs at unusually high dollar levels
California club network, 323 grants, more than any other state
Tribal and rural clubs such as Rosebud, Tahlequah, Durant, Delaware County OK
A few non-affiliate youth agencies like Children's Aid Society

Typical grant

Median grant is $58,712, with the middle half between $21,614 and $139,943. The seven-figure checks go to the largest metro affiliates (Metro Atlanta at $2.7M, Greater Dallas at $2.1M) and to a cluster of Indiana clubs; the small end funds single-site and rural clubs. With 2,267 grants to 955 recipients across three years, most organizations receive money in two or three consecutive years, so this is recurring institutional support rather than one-time project funding.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“GENERAL SUPPORT”
“B&GCS OF”
“B&GC OF”
“COUNTY”

Positioning adjacent work

Treat this as an affiliate funding pipeline; route any ask through a chartered local Club, not directly.
Attach work to a Club's general operating request rather than proposing a standalone research project.
Ask in the $20,000 to $140,000 band unless partnering with a top-25 metro affiliate.
Emphasize youth served at Club sites in a named county or metro area.

Worth knowing: Every grant in the record is coded GENERAL SUPPORT and virtually every recipient is a Boys & Girls Club affiliate, so this is a national organization redistributing money inside its own network rather than an open-door grantmaker. Indiana clubs appear far more often and at far higher dollar amounts than the state's size would predict, and California, Texas, and Georgia lead on grant count.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
