LFH Foundation Family Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and gives only to preselected charitable organisations, so an organisation without an invitation should not send one.
- Its grants span education, health, social services, food assistance, faith groups, arts and youth and community work, all public charities, though no single field is stated.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $2,500 and $100,000, and half are $18,500 or less, so a modest request in that range is typical rather than a ceiling.
- In the most recent filing, 62% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, which points to a relationship-led funder where a first grant is hard to win.
- No geographic focus is stated, so the concentration of grants in New York, New Jersey and Florida in the filing is not a limit on who may apply.

The recipient mix also includes organisations working in youth and community services. The records show support across these kinds of organisations rather than one stated programme area.
