Tuchman Foundation

• The foundation accepts only preselected organisations and does not take unsolicited requests, so a cold approach is unlikely to be considered; the first step is to find a way to be invited.
• Its filing names education and Parkinson’s research as its themes, so work in those areas fits best.
• The filing states no geographic focus, though most of its recorded grants have gone to organisations in New Jersey and New York.
• Most grants are modest: about 8 in 10 fall between $1,000 and $110,000, with a median of $10,000, so a request of that order is more realistic than a large one, although its largest grant was about $735,000.
• In its latest filing, 95% of grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in one of the two previous filings, so giving looks largely relationship-led.
