The Trzcinski Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its recorded purposes are broad, covering charitable and religious activities, and the recipients named in the filing range from churches and schools to hospitals, food banks and policy organisations, so a small charity can judge whether its work sits within that range, though no eligibility criteria are stated.
- Most grants are modest: half of its 55 grants to organisations were $30,000 or less and the median was $30,000, so a request near that level fits its usual pattern.
- About 8 in 10 grants fall between $2,500 and $230,000, and the largest was $2,000,000, so that band is typical rather than a limit.
- No geographic focus is stated, so the location of your work is not a stated test; the application asks for a detailed explanation of past, present and future activities, and the filing gives no deadlines, so it sets no timing to plan around.
- Repeat recipients matter: 27% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in an earlier filing, so an existing relationship may help, though the filing does not say how competitive the foundation is.
