Harry and Andrew H Rosenthal Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so do not send it an application unless it has first invited you to do so.
- Its grants go to conservation, legal advocacy and human rights, hospitals, medical colleges and health charities, and education, youth development, literacy and humanitarian work, and its filings state no narrower programme or applicant criteria, so check that your work sits in one of these areas.
- Typical grants fall between $5,000 and $100,000, with a median of $25,000 and a largest grant of $150,000, and about 8 in 10 of its 54 grants to organisations fall within the typical band, so a modest request in that range fits its usual pattern.
- In its most recent filing, 59% of grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing, so an approach built on an existing connection is likely to carry more weight than a cold one.
- Its giving has risen each year, reaching $1,557,732 paid, but no geographic focus is stated, so the concentration of grants in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania should not be read as a limit on who may apply.
