J Christopher and Anne N Reyes Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Your work fits if it sits in higher education, academic medicine, children's services, arts and culture, community support or environmental protection, which is where the foundation's recorded giving has gone.
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so do not send a cold proposal.
- Keep any request modest: half of its grants to organisations were $70,000 or less and the median grant was $70,000, though its typical band of $10,000 to $600,000 is not a ceiling.
- In the most recent filing, 82% of grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so the route in is relationship-led.
- Grants are mainly in Illinois, Indiana and Florida, but no geographic focus is stated, so treat that as a pattern in its grants rather than a rule about who may apply.
