Mons Concepit Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and contributes to preselected organisations, so a cold letter is unlikely to be considered.
- Its grants have gone to a varied group, including schools and education projects, religious organisations, social-service charities and youth centres, mostly for general purposes, so a small organisation working in those areas may fit.
- About 8 in 10 of its 51 grants fall between $5,000 and $62,500, with a median of $15,000, so a request near that figure sits at the centre of its typical range, though its largest grant was $125,000.
- Most of its grant dollars, 88% in the latest filing, went to organisations it had funded before, so the foundation looks relationship-led, and the filing sets out no deadlines to plan around.
