Technical Training Foundation

• The foundation says its requests should concern scientific and technical training education, so a charity whose work falls outside that area should not apply.
• Its typical grants, which the filing places between about $14,000 and $650,000, are not a ceiling, but half of its grants to organisations are about $130,000 or less, so a modest request in that range fits its usual pattern.
• In its latest filing, 94% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing, so a first request will probably compete with established grantees, and a short, written request that clearly ties your training work to its stated area is the way to make the case.
• The filing says the foundation accepts applications but gives no deadlines, so you can send a request without waiting for a set date, though the filing gives no geographic focus, so location alone should not decide whether you apply.
