The Warren and Augusta Hume Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The Warren and Augusta Hume Foundation makes its grants only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small nonprofit without an existing relationship has no formal route to apply.
- Its recorded giving covers a broad mix of causes, with substantial grants for children, education and youth, alongside wraparound and family services, assistance to under-resourced households, mental-health care and homelessness prevention, so organisations working in these fields are best placed to fit.
- No geographic focus is stated, though its filings show grants mainly in Florida and Georgia.
- About 8 in 10 of its 159 grants to organisations fall between $5,000 and $275,000, with a median grant of $20,000, so a modest request in that range is realistic, though it has also made a grant of about $1,550,000.
- A majority of its grant dollars have gone to organisations it had already funded in its two prior filings, pointing to a relationship-led, invitation-only approach rather than an open competitive process.
