This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.

Key takeaways

  • The filing says the foundation accepts contributions only from preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation without an existing invitation should not send it an application.
  • If you already have a connection, its recorded grants have supported a cathedral, a university, a fine arts museum, youth-serving organisations, an economic development organisation and a camp, and all of its grant dollars in its most recent filing went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing.
  • A modest request fits its usual pattern: about 8 in 10 of its 16 grants to organisations fall between $5,000 and $100,000, with a median of about $29,500, but its largest grant was about $300,000, so that band is typical rather than a ceiling.
  • The filing states no geographic focus, although most grants go to Arkansas and Tennessee, which is a pattern in the record rather than a stated rule.
  • The filing gives no timing, competitiveness or further submission steps, so say little beyond the invitation requirement.

Overview

Keller Family Foundation Dima is a US private foundation based in Pennington, NJ.

What they fund

Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2025, TY2024, TY2023) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.

Priority Areas

Its recorded grants have supported a cathedral, a university, a fine arts museum, youth-serving organisations, an economic development organisation and a camp. The listed purposes include unrestricted general support, capital campaigns, an accessibility grant and a theological fund. Recipients are concentrated in Arkansas, with further support in Tennessee. The record therefore shows support across religious and theological education, arts and culture, youth services, local economic development and camping, alongside general and capital support. It also records repeat grants to organisations funded in an earlier filing. The filings do not state general eligibility criteria or a wider set of priorities.

Geographic Focus

No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Arkansas and Tennessee.

How to apply
