Bill and Carol Latimer Charitable Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- This foundation funds by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a speculative approach from a small nonprofit without an existing relationship is unlikely to succeed.
- Its recorded giving is predominantly religious, with a smaller stream to educational institutions, so fit will mainly suit churches, theological bodies and other educational organisations.
- Most grants are modest: around eight in ten recorded grants fall between $3,750 and $500,000, with a median of about $15,000, though occasional grants are much larger.
- Grant dollars are concentrated in Kentucky, Georgia and Tennessee, and nearly half of the latest filing's grant dollars went to organisations already funded in an earlier filing, suggesting a strong tilt towards repeat, relationship-based support rather than new applicants.
