World Wide Technology Foundation

• World Wide Technology Foundation, based in St Louis, MO, funds a varied mix of organisations including hospital foundations, children's charities, schools and universities, arts organisations, churches, and community, social-service, youth and sports bodies, so a wide range of small nonprofits could fit if their work aligns with the foundation's values.
• Most recorded grant dollars went to organisations in Missouri, though recipients in many other states also appear in the filings.
• A realistic request should be modest: about 8 in 10 of its 591 grants fell between $1,000 and $125,000, and half of all grants were $5,000 or less, though occasional much larger grants (up to about $2,500,000) have been made.
• Applications can be submitted at any time of year via its rolling process, so there is no fixed deadline to plan around.
• With 79% of its grant dollars going to organisations it had already funded in the prior two filings, this looks like a foundation that favours ongoing relationships, so first-time applicants should apply but bear in mind that repeat recipients take the lion's share of funding.
