Sisters of Reparation Charitable Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Sisters of Reparation Charitable Trust does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so organisations should not send a cold application.
- Its grants are described as support for daily operations to churches, Catholic charities, homelessness, education and health-related bodies, so a request framed around running costs fits its pattern best.
- Most of its grants fall between $20,000 and $150,000, with a median of $40,000, so a request near that level is realistic, though its largest grant was $300,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- In its latest filing 91% of grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so it is a relationship-led funder and a new organisation is unlikely to be funded at first.
- No geographic focus is stated; the filing shows New York organisations receive the largest share of grant dollars, but that is a pattern, not a rule.
