Key takeaways

  • The filing frames the foundation's giving around equity, opportunity, social and economic mobility and social safety nets, so a request should show how the work broadens opportunity or supports vulnerable populations.
  • Its most recent filing shows $8,776,961 paid out, but the filing gives no grant range, so a grant writer should ask the foundation what size of request suits it rather than assume one.
  • The filing states no geographic focus, so it does not limit applicants by area, and an organisation should check its work against the stated themes instead.
  • The foundation accepts applications with no deadlines and no standard format, so a short letter setting out the organisation, the purpose of the funding and contact details is a sensible route, using the Foxborough contact location and telephone number in the filing.
  • Nothing in the filing describes how competitive the foundation is or whether existing relationships matter, and it states no exclusions, so it gives no reason to rule any organisation out.

Priority Areas

The Kraft Family Foundation supports initiatives that provide equity, create opportunities and facilitate social and economic mobility. Its stated principle is creating equity for the most vulnerable populations, within an approach that its family philanthropy platform frames around social justice. It has established permanent endowments at educational, health care and social service organisations. The description presents an equity-led approach: backing initiatives intended to broaden opportunity, support mobility and create social safety nets. Its giving is therefore directed towards community-serving organisations and work aimed at improving conditions for vulnerable populations.
