Morse Hill Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing reports $549,500 paid out but gives no grant range, no geographic focus and no particular cause, so it is hard to judge from the filing whether your work fits or what size of request would suit.
- The foundation says it is by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold proposal is unlikely to get a hearing.
- If you have a genuine connection to the foundation, use it, but do not rely on a speculative letter.
- Its stated focus is support for charitable organisations in general, so a small organisation has no published priority to point to, and a clear, modest case is the most sensible starting point if an approach is possible at all.
Overview
Morse Hill Foundation is a US private foundation based in Saratoga Springs, NY.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The foundation’s primary purpose is to support other charitable organisations through contributions. It does not undertake direct charitable activities, so its charitable work is channelled through grants rather than services it operates itself. The grant entries describe the payments as being for general charitable purposes, while naming only an attached list rather than the recipients. The available information identifies no particular cause, type of charitable organisation or community as a priority; its stated focus is support for charitable organisations in general. The filing does not identify which organisations receive that support.
How to apply
The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests.
