The Luckow Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation accepts requests by invitation only and states that it does not take unsolicited applications, so a cold proposal is unlikely to get a hearing.
- Its filing shows $806,650 paid out in its latest year, but no grant range is stated, so a realistic request size cannot be set from these facts.
- The sources name no geographic focus or field of work, so you should not assume your area or cause fits on that basis.
- Rather than drafting an unrequested application, keep your organisation's work visible to people who know the foundation and wait for an invitation.
- Organisations with no realistic route to an invitation should not apply.

Priority Areas
A profile describes Robert W. and Audrey Luckow as philanthropists who, through personal interest and The Luckow Family Foundation, supported a variety of worthy causes.
