Edward John Noble Foundation

• The Edward John Noble Foundation funds arts, education, conservation and health, with priority given to the CT and NY region and conservation work centred on St. Catherine's Island, GA, so check your work matches before approaching.
• Most requests should be modest: about eight in ten of its 84 grants fall between $5,000 and $200,000, and half of these grants were $15,000 or less, although the largest grant was $3,000,000.
• There are no deadlines; organisations apply by letter describing the project, giving a brief description of the organisation and a concise statement of the project's need and objectives.
• With 98% of its grant dollars going to organisations it had also funded in the two previous filings, this looks like a relationship-led funder where repeat support is common, so new applicants should be prepared for a longer courtship.
• Do not seek support for buildings or equipment, or apply as an individual, as the Foundation does not fund these.
