Samuel P Hunt Foundation

• If your organisation is based in New Hampshire and works in an area the foundation has funded, such as community centres, schools, housing, arts, historic sites or conservation, it is worth a look.
• Ask for a modest sum: about 8 in 10 of its 121 grants to organisations fall between $5,000 and $25,000, with a median of $15,000, but its largest grant was $75,000, so treat that band as typical rather than a ceiling.
• Submit a completed grant application with your tax-exempt status letter by 15 March or 15 September.
• Its most recent filing shows that 43% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded before, so the foundation appears to favour continuing relationships and a first request should be realistic.
• Organisations outside New Hampshire should not apply, because the foundation requires its grantees to be located there.
