JMM Charitable Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing says the foundation makes contributions only to preselected organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send a cold application and should wait for an invitation.
- Its grants support education, emergency medicine, depression research and general support, and recipients include universities and schools, hospitals, churches and charitable foundations, so work in those areas fits its record.
- Half of its grants to organisations were $42,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $8,700 and $1,500,000, so a request in that typical band suits its pattern, though its largest grant was about $2,950,000.
- Repeat giving is strong: 65% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so existing relationships appear to carry weight.
- No geographic focus is stated, and the grants are mainly in New York and California, but that is a record of past giving, not a rule about who may apply.
