The Klump Family Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated fields are health, education and support for the U.S. military, so a request that clearly sits in one of these is the best fit.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants to organisations fall between $10,000 and $1,000,000, with a median of $37,500, so a modest, well-costed request is realistic, though larger asks are not ruled out.
- Repeat funding is strong: 99% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing, so a first-time applicant should expect a competitive, relationship-led route and should look for an introduction if one is available.
- The filing does not state how to apply, so check the foundation's website or contact it before sending anything, and note that the filings show grants mainly in Colorado, Georgia and North Carolina without stating a geographic focus, so do not assume that limits who may apply.

What they fund

Priority Areas
The foundation says its giving has focused primarily on health, education and support for the U.S. military. It was formed to manage pledges to nonprofit organisations, and Michael Klump heads it with a small committee. Its grants go to a mix of nonprofit organisations, including universities, healthcare providers, scholarship funds and other nonprofit organisations. The filings record their purposes simply as general and show recipients in several states. This describes both its stated fields and the broad mix of organisations recorded among its grantees.
