Coretz Family Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated focus is Tulsa nonprofits working on criminal justice reform, economic mobility and opportunity, and education, so an organisation doing that work in Tulsa is the clearest fit.
- Its typical grant band runs from $525 to $115,000 and about 8 in 10 of its grants to organisations fall in that range, but half of those grants were $10,000 or less and the median was $10,000, so a modest request is the more realistic starting point.
- Sponsorship requests go through its online Sponsorships Application, and it considers them on a rolling basis, so there is no deadline to wait for, though the application should explain how your work aligns with its mission.
- Relationships appear to matter, since 81% of its grant dollars to organisations in its latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so a first request should be framed with that in mind.
