Norman E Alexander Family S Foundation (New York, NY, EIN 26-4413503)
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Do not send an unsolicited application, as the foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so the first step is to find a route to an invitation.
- Where such a route exists, a request in the typical range of $50,000 to $350,000 (median $100,000) matches most of its grants, though its largest grant was about $4,950,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- Repeat giving is strong, with 80% of grant dollars to organisations going to recipients it had also funded in earlier filings, so a relationship-led approach is likely to count for more than a cold first contact.
- Its grants lean towards environmental work, and the filing shows grants mainly in New York, District of Columbia and California, but no geographic focus is stated, so these patterns are not rules about who may apply.
