This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.

Key takeaways

Giving Hope Worldwide Foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a small charity should not send it a cold application and should first look for a personal introduction.
Its stated priority is around the world, and its filed grants go to a varied group of charitable organisations, including child-care organisations, children's ministries and Christian ministries, so work of that kind may fit.
Most grants are modest: about 8 in 10 fall between $1,250 and $60,000, and half of its 60 grants to organisations were $3,500 or less, so a request near that scale is more realistic than a large one.
In the filing, 40% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, which suggests that existing relationships count for a good deal.
Organisations that cannot make an introduction should not send an unsolicited application, since the foundation does not consider them.
