The Henry Gustav Floren Foundation

• The foundation's recorded purposes are broad: unrestricted use and help for organisations in their exempt function.
• Its recipients have included a university, schools, a community church and a hospital adolescent-mental-health programme, so a small charity with a clear public-benefit purpose has a case to make, though no particular field is stated.
• Half of its 26 grants to organisations were $15,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $1,000 and $100,000, so a modest, well-costed request sits within its typical range, though its largest grant was $310,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
• Repeat giving is strong, with 87% of its grant dollars to organisations going to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so a first approach should be made with that in mind.
• The filings show grants mainly in California, Connecticut, Utah and New York, but no geographic focus is stated, so that pattern is not a limit on who may apply; the application method is unknown, so confirm how to approach the foundation before sending anything.
