This organization files Form 990, which has no section for application policy. Its filings cannot say either way.
The latest filing we hold carries no statement about applications. That is not the same as closed: public-charity Form 990s have no field for it, and many foundations leave the section blank.
No parsed e-filed return is on record for this organization yet, so year-by-year financials are not available.
Asset, income and revenue figures come from the IRS master file (the IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File), a coarse annual extract. Year-by-year figures appear once the organization's e-filed returns are in the database.

Where recipients are
Based on the 75% of grant rows we could match to an organization record. The rest stay as reported. The IRS assigns the NTEE category when it grants exemption. It often reflects the original filing, not today's giving.
