Tom and Julie Wood Family Foundation

• Tom and Julie Wood Family Foundation is based in Indianapolis, IN, and paid out $15,802,253 in grants in its latest filing, going to a varied mix of charitable organisations such as children's and community health bodies, universities and schools, food assistance, social and community services, faith-based bodies, housing support, and a museum; most awards are labelled charitable, with a smaller group labelled educational.
• No geographic focus is stated, though the filings show its grants reaching mainly organisations in Indiana, with further substantial giving to Florida and Virginia.
• Typical grants run from $15,000 to $1,250,000, with about 8 in 10 of its 92 grants to organisations falling in that range, a median of $100,000, and occasional much larger awards up to around $4,050,000; a request in the region of $100,000 or less fits half of its recorded grants, so that is a realistic starting point for most applicants.
• This looks like a relationship-led funder rather than one geared to open applications: 99% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had already funded in its two previous filings, so new approaches should be made with the expectation that funding is concentrated on established relationships.
• No application method is given in the filings, so grant writers should not assume there is a published process or deadline to follow.
