Teach A Man To Fish Foundation

• Teach A Man To Fish Foundation funds work across conservation innovation and awareness, academic programmes and scholarships, plus a range of other causes including helping young people overcome obstacles, climate and biodiversity measurement, racial equity and justice, peace and ending gun violence, environmental science education, sepsis education, food security and wilderness protection.
• It makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold approach is unlikely to work.
• Almost all of its grant dollars go to organisations it has already funded, which points to a relationship-led funder rather than an open competition.
• Where it does give, most grants are modest: half of its 58 grants to organisations were $10,000 or less, and about eight in ten fall between $5,000 and $200,000, so a request in that range reflects the typical pattern, even though the largest grant recorded was far bigger.
• No geographic focus is stated, though its filings show grants mainly in Wyoming and California.
