Jane and Jon Outcalt Foundation

• The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and gives only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and any approach should be planned as an invitation-led relationship.
• Its filing states no defined subject-area strategy or eligibility criteria, and it has funded hospitals, schools, arts bodies, social-service charities, churches, museums and environmental groups; no geographic focus is stated, though most recorded organisational grants went to Ohio recipients.
• Half of its 114 grants to organisations were $5,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fell between $1,000 and $160,000, so a modest request is the most realistic size, although that band is typical rather than a ceiling, as its largest grant was $650,000.
• Repeat support is central to its giving, with 99% of its grant dollars to organisations in the latest filing going to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so a new applicant should not assume an open door.
