Almira Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Almira Family Foundation is by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send it an unrequested application.
- Its grants mostly go to hospital foundations and medical centres, healthcare and research bodies, colleges and universities, community foundations and youth organisations, so work in those areas fits best, though the filing states no geographic focus.
- About 8 in 10 of its 48 grants to organisations fall between $7,000 and $125,000, with a median of $40,000, so a request near that size is realistic, although its largest grant was $430,000.
- Repeat support is significant: 80% of its grant dollars in the latest filing went to organisations it had also funded earlier, so existing relationships appear to matter more than cold outreach.
