The Constantin Foundation

• The foundation's stated priority is Dallas County, and its purpose is to benefit people there through civic, cultural, educational and medical charities, so a Dallas County organisation working in health and mental health, literacy and education, youth development, community services, housing and food access, parks and recreation, or arts and culture is the clearest fit.
• Typical grants run from $50,000 to $400,000, and about 8 in 10 of its 50 grants to organisations fall in that band, but half were $100,000 or less and the median was $100,000, so a modest request near $100,000 suits it well.
• Repeat funding made up 36% of its grant dollars to organisations, so it does return to some grantees, but that share should not discourage a first approach.
• Apply through the online portal at www.cftgrants.org before its June 30 deadline, and copy the foundation's contact address once the application is submitted.
• The filing gives no exclusions or eligibility rules, so no kind of organisation should be ruled out on that basis, though an organisation working outside Dallas County should check that the stated priority suits its work before applying.
