Paul S Nadler Family Charitable Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation says it makes contributions to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; your first step should be to find a genuine link to the trust rather than to submit a request.
- Its recorded grants cover a wide mix of fields, and no geographic focus is stated, although the filing shows grants mainly in New York, California and District of Columbia, so you should weigh your location against that pattern rather than treat it as a rule.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $1,000 and $50,000, with a median of $5,000 and a largest grant of $65,000, so a modest request in that typical range is the realistic size to consider.
- Relationships matter here, as 69% of grant dollars in the latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings.
