Invitation only

Unsolicited applications are not accepted

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

Key takeaways

Huntington Foundation accepts formal applications only by invitation from a Huntington Community representative, so an unsolicited request is unlikely to get a hearing.
Its focus is community revitalisation and stabilisation, community services where at least 50% of those served are low- and moderate-income, affordable housing, and economic and community development, and it considers requests outside these areas if they reflect documented community needs and align with its overall impact goals.
The foundation encourages prospective partners to contact their local Community Development Relationship Manager first, and formal applications are reviewed quarterly, so plan around that cycle.
It does not fund capital campaigns, event sponsorships, endowments, multi-year requests, general operational budgets or research, so organisations seeking those should look elsewhere.
Its filing gives no grant range and shows $25,999,457 paid out in total, so ask the relationship manager about a realistic request size before setting a figure.

What they fund

Priority Areas

Through its programmatic support, Huntington Foundation supports 501(c)(3) organisations serving communities in Huntington’s footprint. It seeks to improve self-sufficiency and quality of life and advance social and economic equality. Its named areas are community revitalisation and stabilisation, community services, affordable housing, and economic and community development. Revitalisation and stabilisation covers activities in low- and moderate-income areas, designated disaster areas, and underserved or distressed geographies; community services activities are those where at least half of those served are low- and moderate-income. Its housing work provides access for low- and moderate-income individuals and families, while economic and community development assists such individuals, families, small businesses and farms. Requests outside its focus areas can be considered when they reflect documented community needs and align with Huntington’s overall impact goals.
