William B Orkin Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation makes grants only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold approach is unlikely to be considered, and the filing gives no submission steps.
- Its stated themes are children and animals, though its mission covers a variety of causes and its grants span several fields, so a charity in those areas or elsewhere should judge fit before spending time on an approach.
- Typical grants fall between $1,500 and $35,000, with a median of $10,000, although the largest grant was $100,000, so a request near $10,000 sits at the centre of its usual giving.
- The filing shows 71% of grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded the previous year, so renewed support for existing grantees is a large share of its giving.
- No geographic focus is stated, so a charity should not assume it is excluded because of where it is based.

Priority Areas
The foundation describes its mission as supporting a variety of causes, with a focus on helping children and animals. Its filings show operating grants to a broad mix of charitable organisations, including churches and ministries, schools and youth organisations, health and counselling services, food and family-support groups, animal-welfare organisations, and community and arts bodies. The grant record therefore shows support for organisations across several fields rather than a single programme-specific remit. Most recorded grant dollars went to organisations in Georgia, with smaller amounts reaching organisations in other states.
