JT Tai & Co Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation makes contributions only to charitable organisations it has selected in advance and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and this is not a foundation to approach unprompted.
- When it does fund, its grants are mostly substantial: about 8 in 10 of its 155 grants to organisations fell between $30,000 and $250,000, with a median of $100,000, so a request in that range is typical, though its largest grant was about $715,000.
- Its giving is highly repeat-based, with 99% of grant dollars to organisations going to recipients it had also funded in an earlier filing.
- No geographic focus is stated; the filing shows grants mainly in California, New York, Arizona, Colorado and Massachusetts, but that reflects where its grants have gone, not a rule about who may apply.
- The filing describes no thematic priorities, so fit with its work is hard to judge from the record alone.

The recorded recipients span twelve states, with the largest shares of grant dollars going to organisations in California and New York, followed by Arizona and Colorado.
