Elisabeth C. DeLuca Foundation

• This foundation only funds work in health, nursing and allied health, and the arts, so only approach if your work sits in one of these areas.
• It actively seeks out projects by invitation and does not review or consider unsolicited proposals, so an unsolicited approach is not the way in; organisations without an existing relationship or invitation should not apply.
• If you are invited to apply, pitch a request in line with its typical grants: about 8 in 10 of its 43 grants to organisations fall between $50,000 and $1,150,000, with a median grant of $150,000, so a request in that range is realistic rather than aiming for its largest grant of $9,800,000.
• Giving looks relationship-led rather than open competition, since 69% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in its two previous filings, so existing partners are likely to be prioritised.
• No geographic focus is stated in its filings, so do not assume its location limits who may apply.
