Turner Construction Company Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing says the foundation gives only to preselected organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so unless you have already been invited, skip a cold application and seek a connection through one of its local offices.
- Its stated themes are active caring, wellness, workforce readiness, inclusion and disaster relief, so check that your work sits within them before approaching it.
- Most of its grants fall between $2,500 and $25,000, with a median of $8,000, so a request in that region is realistic; its largest grant was about $150,000, so that band is typical rather than a limit.
- Repeat giving matters: 48% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had already funded, so an existing relationship strengthens your position.
- The filing names no geographic focus, and most grants went to Ohio, New York, Texas, Connecticut, California and the United States, but treat that as a pattern, not a rule.
