Bursky Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation paid out $1,671,999 in its latest filing, and its filings show grants mainly in Missouri, though it states no geographic focus of its own, so a Missouri link is worth noting but is not a rule about who may apply.
- It makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so you should not send it a cold proposal.
- Only organisations it has invited should apply, and that is the one firm exclusion the record supports.
- The grant range is not stated, and the filing records only a general unrestricted grant to a university, so there is no basis for sizing a request or judging its timing.
Overview
Bursky Family Foundation is a US private foundation based in Greenwich, CT.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The available filing records support for a university, described as general unrestricted support. The purpose therefore identifies an unrestricted institutional grant rather than a named project or activity. The evidence does not specify a subject area, a geographic preference or a broader set of eligible organisations. It shows the foundation making a contribution to an organisation, but it does not establish whether universities are its usual recipients or whether other types of charitable organisations are also supported. The record offers no further description of the foundation's approach.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Missouri.
How to apply
It makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests.
