The Todi Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The filing states no geographic focus, and its grants have mainly gone to organisations in Illinois, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, but that pattern is not a rule on who may apply.
- The foundation describes its grants as general operating support, so a request should set out the organisation's overall work and needs rather than a narrow project, and its recorded recipients include educational foundations, temples, relief organisations, hospitals and a volunteer fire company.
- A modest request fits best: half of its grants to organisations were $21,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $1,000 and $400,000, though that is a typical band rather than its full range, since its largest grant was $1,050,000.
- Applications go through its special request form, and the filing gives no deadlines, so any question about timing is best put to the foundation directly.
- Repeat giving is strong: in the most recent filing, 64% of its grant dollars to organisations went to recipients it had also funded in earlier filings, so a new applicant faces an established set of relationships, though a first approach should not be ruled out.

Priority Areas
The foundation's filings describe its grants as general support or general operating support. Its recorded recipients include educational foundations, temples, relief organisations, hospitals and a volunteer fire company. The filings do not identify a narrower funding field, target population or stated geographic eligibility. Grants have gone to organisations in Illinois and Pennsylvania as well as other states, but the filing does not say that applicants must be based in those places. Applicants are asked to use a special request form; no submission deadline or award restrictions are stated. The material therefore documents broad organisational support rather than a declared programme of project-specific priorities.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Illinois, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
How to apply
Applicants are asked to provide the required form and information on a special request form.
