Miriam & Arthur Diamond Charitable Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The trust makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation it has not already chosen should not send it a proposal.
- Where your work fits, the filing shows that about 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $25,000 and $600,000, and the median grant is $50,000, so a request near that middle figure is the most realistic size to plan around.
- Repeat giving is strong: 100% of its grant dollars in its latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in one of the two earlier filings, which suggests it mostly works with established recipients.
- The filing does not describe how prospective recipients are selected, and no geographic focus is stated, so if you are not already known to the trust, its own published process is the place to check before doing anything else.
