Preservati Family Charitable Trust Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected, so an organisation it has not already chosen should not send it a request.
- Its filings show support reaching churches and faith-based ministries, community and social-service organisations, hospitals and health charities, and emergency and relief bodies, but no single field of giving is stated, so judge fit by your own work and needs.
- No geographic focus is stated, so location alone should not rule you in or out.
- About 8 in 10 of its 57 grants to organisations fall between $25,000 and $255,000, and half were $50,000 or less, so a modest request is typical, though that band is not a ceiling.
- Because 67% of its grant dollars in its most recent filing went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing, it appears to favour continuing relationships, so approach it only through a route it has already opened.
