Indian Trail Charitable Foundation

• The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity with no existing link to it should not send a cold application; the only route in is by invitation, which makes this a relationship-led approach.
• The filing gives no specific funding field or applicant criteria, so judge your fit by comparing your work with the broad range of recipients it lists, which include universities, museums, health and social-service organisations and Jewish community bodies.
• About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $250 and $31,500, and half are $1,200 or less, so a modest request sits within its usual range; its largest grant, about $700,000 to UJA Federation, an organisation that regrants to others, is not a ceiling.
• Most of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in the previous filing (88%), and most recorded grant dollars went to organisations in New York, so new applicants should expect a competitive route, though no timing is stated.
