Broadcom Foundation

• Broadcom Foundation funds digital and AI literacy, STEM career pathways, coding and computational thinking, and equitable STEM access for women and underrepresented youth, so a programme in these areas is the closest fit.
• The filing says it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and an organisation should look for a route to an invitation.
• Half of its grants to organisations are $10,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $795 and $100,000, so a request near $10,000 is in line with its usual giving; its largest grant was about $2,000,000, so that band is typical rather than a ceiling.
• About 96% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so giving is relationship-led and a warm introduction will help, though this is a reason to find a route in rather than a reason to rule out a new organisation.
• No geographic focus is stated, so location alone should not decide whether to approach it.
