The Clark and Christine Ivory Foundation

• This foundation's giving centres on education (including scholarships for first-generation students, single parents and those close to graduation, with a focus on innovation, real estate and construction), housing affordability, sustainable communities, and urgent economic or social needs, so charities working in these areas are the best fit.
• A modest request is realistic, as half of its 195 grants to organisations were $15,000 or less, though grants have ranged from $2,000 up to $170,000, with one grant as large as $7,450,000.
• The foundation accepts proposals by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so organisations should not send in applications speculatively.
• Giving appears strongly relationship-led rather than open to new competition: 93% of grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in the two previous filings.
• No geographic focus is formally stated, though its grants are shown mainly in Utah; no information is given on timing of decisions.
