Peter & Mary Russo Family Foundation

• The foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, and the filing gives no route for an organisation to seek preselection, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and you should not send one.
• Most of its grants fall between $5,000 and $50,000, with a median of $20,000 across 83 grants, so a request in that range matches its typical pattern, though its largest grant was $100,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
• Its recent filings show that 92% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had already funded, so it is largely a repeat funder and a new applicant faces a difficult route in.
• No geographic focus is stated; its grants have mainly gone to organisations in California, Tennessee, District of Columbia, New Jersey and Illinois, but that is a record of past giving, not a rule about who may apply.
