The Correll Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing states that the foundation does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; seek an introduction through an existing connection before writing anything.
- Its grants are general rather than tied to a specific project and span religious congregations, education, health, youth and family services, community development, and cultural and civic institutions, so a request describing your organisation's general needs is the better fit.
- Typical grants fall between $5,000 and $200,000, with about 8 in 10 of its 53 grants in that band and a median of $50,000, but the largest grant was $1,200,000, so treat that band as typical rather than a ceiling.
- No geographic focus is stated, and the filing shows most grants in Georgia, which is a pattern in its giving rather than a rule about who may apply.
- Being new to the foundation is not a reason to hold back, but about 94% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had funded in an earlier filing, so expect established recipients to take most of its money.

What they fund

Priority Areas
Across the filings, grants went to religious congregations and education institutions, alongside health-related charities, youth and family services, community-development organisations, and cultural and civic institutions. The recipient examples span churches and universities, a health foundation and an Alzheimer’s association, youth camps and family services, a community partnership, and historical and human-rights organisations. The reported purpose for every grant is general, rather than a specified project or activity.
