Rogers Family Charitable Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing says this foundation gives only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and should not be sent.
- Your organisation's best route is an invitation, which the filing does not describe how to obtain, so check first whether anyone connected to your work already has a relationship with the foundation.
- If an invitation comes, a modest request fits best: the typical grant is about $1,000 to $100,000, the median is $10,000, and about 86% of grant dollars went to organisations it had funded before, while the largest grant was about $155,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- No geographic focus is stated, although its grants are mainly in California, so location alone should not decide whether you approach it.
- Its giving is mostly general support across hospitals, a botanic garden, performing-arts and community-service charities and an animal-rescue organisation, so those are examples of recipients rather than a list of what it funds.
Overview
Rogers Family Charitable Trust is a US private foundation based in Torrance, CA.
What they fund

Priority Areas
Most of its recorded grants are described as general support, distributed among different kinds of charitable organisations. Recipients include hospitals and medical foundations, a botanic garden, performing-arts organisations, community-service charities and an animal-rescue organisation. The records also identify Guardian Scholars for people with foster-care backgrounds as a distinct purpose, with support channelled through university recipients. Giving is heavily concentrated in California, while a small number of grants went to organisations in other states. The filing describes a selective approach: contributions go only to preselected charitable organisations, and unsolicited requests are not accepted.
