KHP Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- KHP Foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation it has not invited should not send one.
- Its recorded grants cover education and research, efforts to end modern slavery, Jewish community-building, church ministry, conservation and emergency and humanitarian relief, so a small organisation working in one of these areas has a plausible match.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $99 and $10,000, and half of its grants to organisations were $1,650 or less, so a modest request in the low thousands fits its typical pattern, though its largest grant of $100,000 went to Starport Foundation, an organisation that regrants, and the typical band is not a ceiling.
- Almost all of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded before, so the relationship matters more than a cold approach, and the filing gives no application instructions beyond this.
- No geographic focus is stated; its grants have mainly been in California and Taiwan, which describes where it has given rather than who may apply.
