Saltsgiver Family Foundation

• The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and makes its contributions only to organisations it has preselected, so an unprompted application is unlikely to be considered; the realistic route is a personal introduction.
• Its filings show gifts chiefly to Christian broadcasting, religious ministries, and humanitarian and disaster-relief charities, with smaller gifts to churches, a university, a children's hospital, veterans' organisations, a shelter, and community and youth groups, so check that your work matches one of these before seeking an introduction.
• Most grants are modest: half of its grants to organisations were $10,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $2,000 and $250,000, so a request in that typical range is realistic, although its largest grant was $1,250,000.
• In its latest filing, 99% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in one of the two filings before, so it leans towards continuing existing relationships rather than new ones.
• No geographic focus is stated, though the filings show grants mainly in Virginia and North Carolina, so a charity elsewhere should not assume it is excluded but should expect a grant in those states to sit closer to its past giving.
