The Ping Y Tai Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- This foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and gives only by invitation, so the first step is to find a route to an invitation rather than writing in cold; an organisation without that route should not send a request.
- Where your work fits its areas, a request in the typical range suits it: about 8 in 10 of its 48 grants to organisations fell between $25,000 and $70,000, with a median of $40,000, though its largest grant was $80,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- Its giving is strongly repeat-led, with 100% of its grant dollars in the latest filing going to organisations it had also funded in the filing before, so a newcomer should expect to compete with established recipients.
- The areas it funds include health and medical, food and meal services, emergency relief, youth and homelessness, international aid and education, but no geographic focus is stated; its grants are mainly in New York, Virginia, Texas and Maryland, which describes past giving rather than a limit on who may apply.
