Crain-Maling Foundation

• The filing says the foundation makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send a request unless it has been invited to apply.
• Where a relationship or invitation exists, the work fits best if it connects to education and spiritual growth, cultural events or medical research, with priority given to the State of Illinois, Wisconsin, New York, Israel and the world.
• Its typical grants fall between $2,000 and $30,000, with about 8 in 10 of its 100 grants in that band and a median of $6,000, so a modest request is realistic, although its largest grant was $110,000.
• The filing gives no deadline or cycle, so there is no set time to plan around, and because entry is through preselection, the route in is a relationship rather than an open application.
