Allan and Ann Mactier Charitable Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation gives only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation that has not been invited should not send an application; a useful first step is to build a relationship that could lead to an invitation.
- Its grant record is varied, covering education, the arts, libraries, health, social services, fire and rescue, animal and equestrian groups and conservation, but the filing records its purposes simply as charitable, so fit should rest on your work being charitable rather than on a named theme.
- About 8 in 10 of its 152 grants to organisations fall between $4,000 and $15,000 and the median is $7,000, so a request in that typical band is the realistic size, though its largest grant was $260,000.
- In its most recent filing, 94% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in an earlier filing, so it appears to be largely repeat-giving and new relationships are likely to be slow to form.

What they fund

Recipients span education, including an academy and university; arts and culture, including opera, symphony, theatre and museums; public media and libraries; health organisations; social services; fire and rescue services; animal and equestrian organisations; and conservation. This is a varied record rather than evidence of a named grant theme: the purposes are recorded simply as charitable, while the grants are concentrated in Nebraska and also reach organisations in other states and outside the United States. The filings state that contributions go only to preselected charitable organisations and that unsolicited requests are not accepted.
