Larry Benaroya Family Foundation

• The filing names no programme field, but grants have gone to health and disease groups, schools, museums and arts organisations, Jewish community organisations, food banks, and housing and social-service groups, so check that your work sits within that range.
• Half of the 68 grants to organisations across the three filings were $10,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $1,000 and $150,000, so a request in that region is typical, though the largest grant was $10,000,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
• The foundation requires a written proposal and gives no deadlines, so you can submit when your project is ready, but the filing does not say how proposals are reviewed.
• Only 3% of its grant dollars to organisations in the latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in the two earlier filings, and its giving has risen each year, so a first approach is not a barrier.
• The foundation says its scope is narrowly limited, but the filing does not say how, and no geographic focus is stated, so ask about fit before you invest time in a full proposal.
