Trimix Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Trimix Foundation, based in Providence, RI, paid out $1,097,471 in its latest filing, and its stated work centres on low-income housing and urban blight, so a housing or neighbourhood project fits most clearly.
- Its grants have also gone to education, neighbourhood development, colleges, youth organisations and charitable foundations, but the filing sets out no broader eligibility criteria, so check the fit before you write.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants to organisations fall between $5,000 and $600,000, with a median of $50,000 and half at $50,000 or less, so a request in the tens of thousands is a sensible starting point; the largest, about $1,400,000 to Mill Town Foundation, is not a guide to an ordinary award.
- The filing states no geographic focus and shows grants mainly in Rhode Island and New York, a pattern in the record rather than a rule about who may apply, and you should apply by written request on letterhead explaining your qualified charitable status and the intended use of the grant.
- The filing gives no deadlines, but 46% of grant dollars in its latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in its two earlier filings, so repeat recipients take a substantial share.
