Alice L. Johnson Charitable Trust Fund

The Alice L. Johnson Charitable Trust is a philanthropic foundation that seeks to support organizations that provide assistance to the needy and deserving poor in the Bristol Borough area of Bristol, Pennsylvania. The primary mission of the Trust is to make grants to qualified organizations that aim to alleviate poverty and help the disadvantaged population of this local community. The Trust focuses specifically on human services and provides financial support to non-profit entities that align with its charitable purpose. The foundation operates with a year-round application process, but there is a firm deadline for grant submission each year. All applications must be submitted by March 1 to be considered for funding in that calendar year. The annual grant meeting to review applications takes place in April. Organizations interested in applying must meet specific eligibility requirements, including being classified as an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This ensures that only non-profit organizations focused on charitable activities can apply for funding. Applicants must provide clear documentation demonstrating their 501(c)(3) status when submitting their applications. While the application process is open throughout the year, the Trust emphasizes that all applications submitted by the March 1 deadline will be reviewed at the annual meeting held in April. Applicants will receive an automated confirmation email upon successful submission of their application. The Trust’s funding is designed to assist with projects that align with its mission of helping the poor and needy. While the grant process is not highly detailed in terms of the exact financial limits, the Trust typically awards grants with an average size of $7,500. Applicants should be prepared to submit periodic progress reports for funded projects, as the Trust may require updates on how the funds are being utilized. The Alice L. Johnson Charitable Trust is administered by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., which serves as the trustee for the organization. Given that the Trust's mission and geographical scope are specifically limited to the Bristol Borough area in Pennsylvania, only organizations located within this area are eligible to apply. This localized focus underscores the Trust's commitment to directly assisting those within its immediate community.
