Anderson-Rogers Foundation

• The foundation's stated interests are environmental protection, animal welfare, climate-change mitigation, sustainable agriculture and food security, and social support and community building, with a special emphasis on New York City, so work in those areas and places is the best fit.
• Scholarships, grants to individuals, religious organisations, and organisations outside the United States (except current grantees) are excluded, so those should not apply.
• Start with a brief emailed letter of inquiry rather than a full proposal; applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
• A modest request fits: about 8 in 10 grants fall between $3,000 and $40,000 and the median is $10,000, though the largest grant was $50,000, so that band is typical rather than a limit.
• Because 64% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in the previous two filings, first-time applicants should explain clearly how they will evaluate their effectiveness and why their work suits its stated preference for innovative projects or general operating support from small, hands-on organisations.
