Tannenbaum Family Foundation

• The filing says the foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and gives only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and the sensible first step is to find a way to be put forward.
• Its grants have ranged from $2,150 to $50,000 with a median of $11,000, and half of its nine grants to organisations were $11,000 or less, so a modest request in that region is the most realistic size to consider.
• The filing gives no geographic focus; most grants have gone to organisations in New York, Florida and Pennsylvania, but that is a pattern in its giving, not a rule about who may apply.
• Its recipients are varied and the filing sets out no applicant criteria, so a small charity should not expect its fit to be obvious and should be ready to explain its work clearly.
