Jeff and Linda Hendricks 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 preselected organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation without an existing connection to it should not send a cold application.
- Its grants are chiefly for education, such as school social work, summer learning, science teaching and equipment, and school facilities, so work in those areas fits best.
- Typical grants run from $1,000 to $100,000, with a median of $20,000 and half of its grants at $20,000 or less, so a modest request is the realistic size; its largest grant was $600,000, so the typical band is not a limit.
- Repeat recipients take most of its money, with 79% of grant dollars in its latest filing going to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so an existing relationship matters more than anything else.
- No geographic focus is stated, although the filings show grants mainly in Washington.
