Gerard B Lambert Foundation

• The foundation supports horticulture, conservation, sustainability, arts and therapy work aimed at well-being, so check first whether your organisation's work sits within those themes.
• It states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered, and an introduction or existing relationship is the realistic route in.
• The typical grant band, which covers about 8 in 10 grants, runs from $20,000 to $1,000,000, with a median of $60,000 and a largest grant of $2,000,000, so a modest request near the median is a sensible starting point.
• The filing shows that 78% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing, so new applicants should not assume that funding is readily open to them.
• The filing shows grants mainly in New York, District of Columbia and New Jersey, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not treat that pattern as a limit on who may approach it.
