Teal Pond Foundation

• Teal Pond Foundation is selective: its filing says it makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation that has not been invited should not send one.
• Its recorded grants support education, medical purposes and conservation, with education the largest field, so a small charity working in those areas has a fit to point to, though the filings state no further eligibility criteria.
• Relationships appear to matter here, since 90% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had funded in earlier filings.
• If you are invited to apply, a modest request fits its record: its typical grant, which about 8 in 10 of its 49 grants fall between, runs from $1,000 to $50,000, and half of its grants were $2,000 or less, although its largest grant was $100,000.
• Its grants have mostly gone to Massachusetts and New York, but the filings state no geographic focus, so that pattern should not be read as a rule about who may apply.
