Greentree Foundation

• Contributions go only to preselected organisations and unsolicited requests are not accepted, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; a warm introduction is the realistic route.
• Its published priority area, as reported in other published sources, is the Town of North Hempstead, and its stated themes are peace and human rights, cooperation among nations, land and wildlife management, and ecology education, so work outside these is unlikely to fit.
• Half of its grants to organisations are $75,000 or less, and its typical grant band runs from $2,500 to $200,000, so a request should be sized toward the middle of that range rather than the top.
• In the filing, 57% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in its two earlier filings, so an existing relationship matters a great deal.
