The Schauble Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is not the route in; if you are not already known to it, the realistic step is to seek an introduction rather than submit a proposal.
- Its recorded giving is concentrated on educational resources, and it also records purposes of community, wellness, environmental preservation and poverty relief, so your work fits if it sits within one of these.
- No geographic focus is stated, so location alone does not rule you out.
- Size any request with the typical grant in mind: about 8 in 10 of its 45 grants to organisations fall between $5,000 and $500,000, and half are $10,000 or less, though its largest grant was about $1,200,000, so a modest request matches its usual pattern.
- Because 91% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had already funded, the foundation looks relationship-led, so the best use of your time is to build a connection with its trustees before anything else.
