US Justice Charitable Foundation

• The foundation says it does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a cold proposal is unlikely to be considered and any approach should be made through an introduction.
• Its recorded grants go to colleges, educational institutes and other organisations running educational and research programmes, including free enterprise scholarships, economic freedom and limited government initiatives, and entrepreneurship education with outreach for people recovering from addiction.
• About 8 in 10 of its 14 grants to organisations fall between $56,000 and $350,000, with a median of about $200,000 and a largest grant of $375,000, so a request near that middle fits its record, though that band describes typical grants rather than a limit.
• Repeat giving is significant: 52% of its grant dollars in the latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings.
• The filings show grants mainly in Ohio, South Carolina, Missouri, Alabama and Pennsylvania, but no geographic focus is stated, so this is a pattern rather than a rule about who may apply.
