M & T Weiner Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation accepts no unsolicited requests and gives only to charitable organisations it has preselected, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered, and the filing describes no other route in.
- Its typical grants fall between $3,500 and $105,000, with about 8 in 10 of its 75 grants to organisations in that band and a median of $30,000, so a request of around that size fits its usual pattern, though its largest grant was $500,000.
- Its filings show grants mainly in New Jersey, New York and Maryland, but no geographic focus is stated, so that pattern is a guide rather than a rule.
- Some 91% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so an organisation with no existing link should expect little prospect of a grant.
