About Applestone Foundation-Ima

Applestone Foundation-ima’s recent grants show a clear preference for general operating support, with awards flowing to independent schools, community service groups, and educational organizations. The largest recorded grant in the file is a $50,000 gift to Westminster School for general operating support, which fits a broader pattern of unrestricted funding rather than project-specific awards. Other sizable grants also point to that approach: La Comunidad Hispana received $30,000 for general operating support, and Lch Health and Community Services received $29,000 for the same purpose. The foundation’s giving is not limited to one type of institution, but it does repeatedly back organizations that help schools and local communities maintain day-to-day operations. Kennett Consolidated School District received two $21,000 general operating grants in 2023 and 2024, while Unionville High School also received $21,000 in both years. That repeated support suggests a sustained relationship with some recipients rather than one-time project funding. The recent grant list also includes a mix of education, food access, community service, and youth-serving groups, indicating a practical focus on organizational sustainability across several local institutions.

What Applestone Foundation-Ima Funds

It also provided $23,500 to Fairville Friends School and $10,000 to Lebanon Valley College. The foundation also funds community-serving nonprofits that support families and access to services. La Comunidad Hispana received $30,000 for general operating support, while Lch Health and Community Services received $29,000. Family Promise of Southern Chester Count received $19,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2023, showing repeated support for a housing- and family-stability organization. Youth and after-school programming appears as another area of interest. Kennett After School Assn After the Bell received $24,000, and The Garage Community & Youth Center received $10,500 for general operating purposes.
