Cloverfields Foundation

• Cloverfields Foundation supports a broad range of charitable work, including education, faith communities, youth activities, social services, health and culture, and every grant recorded is general operating support.
• It only contributes to preselected organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a speculative approach should not be sent.
• Typical grants range from $2,500 to $515,000, with about eight in ten of its 84 grants falling in this range; the median grant was $25,000, so a modest request around this figure would be realistic, though grants have gone as high as $2,100,000.
• The foundation paid $5,258,000 in grants overall, and 61% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had already funded, suggesting a relationship-led, invitation-only approach rather than one open to new, unknown applicants.
• No geographic focus is stated, so location alone should not determine whether a charity considers approaching it.
