Samuel H & Maria Miller Foundation

• This foundation operates by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is not the way in.
• Its grants have supported hospitals and health-care institutions, universities and schools, food banks, religious institutions and other community-service organisations, mostly as general support, with most grant dollars recorded in Ohio.
• A realistic request would fall within its typical range of $1,000 to $350,000, bearing in mind the median grant was $25,000 and half of its 133 grants were $25,000 or less, though its largest grant reached $2,200,000.
• With 81% of its grant dollars going to organisations it had already funded in recent filings, this looks like a relationship-led funder that mostly continues existing partnerships rather than taking on new ones.
• Because it states plainly that it does not accept unsolicited requests, organisations without an existing connection to the foundation should not apply directly.
