Jen-Hsun & Lori Huang Foundation

• The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a small charity should not send it a cold proposal.
• A better first step is to build a connection through someone who already knows the foundation, and to ask only once that route is open.
• Half of its 31 grants to organisations were about $360,000 or less, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one, although its largest grant was about $55,500,000.
• In its latest filing, 99% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in its earlier filings, so the foundation mostly renews existing relationships and new applicants should expect a long road.
• The filing states no geographic focus, so the grants it records in Florida, Oregon and New York show past giving and should not be read as a rule about who may apply.
