Lily Pointe Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation's recorded grants cover a broad mix of work, including family support, homelessness prevention, youth and arts education, environmental and animal-rescue organisations, and hospitals and medical research, so check that your work sits in one of these areas before you approach it.
- Its typical grants run from $5,000 to $75,000, about 8 in 10 of its 51 grants to organisations, with a median of $25,000, so a modest request in that band fits the usual pattern, though its largest grant was $500,000.
- It accepts requests by invitation only and does not take unsolicited requests, so wait to be invited rather than sending a cold application, and direct any inquiry to the contact listed in the filing.
- No geographic focus is stated, and although most of its giving goes to organisations in Washington, that is a pattern in its grants rather than a rule.
- In its most recent filing, 96% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded earlier, so the foundation appears to be strongly relationship-led and repeat-driven.
