Anne M Orrell Charitable Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation accepts requests only by invitation, and the filing says contributions are limited to preselected charitable organisations, so organisations that have not been preselected should not send an unsolicited request and should wait to be invited.
- Where an invitation is given, the typical grant band is $25,000 to $200,000, with a median grant of $100,000 and about 8 in 10 of its 58 grants falling in that band; the largest grant was $250,000, so the band is not a ceiling.
- Half of its grants to organisations were $100,000 or less across the filings, so a request near the lower end may suit it best.
- The filing shows that 28% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so repeat support is a meaningful part of its giving.
- No geographic focus is stated, and the grants shown are mainly in Virginia, but that pattern is not a stated rule.
