Hoover Foundation Income Account
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation makes grants mainly to community funds, hospitals and health agencies, colleges and community organisations, and it does not fund individuals, so individuals should not apply, while a small charity in one of those categories has a reasonable fit.
- About 8 in 10 of its 198 grants fall between $5,000 and $120,000, with a median of $25,000, so a request in the low tens of thousands is a realistic size, although its largest grant was $1,000,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- Applications are made by letter stating the amount requested and the purpose, and the filing gives no deadlines.
- The filings show grants mainly in Ohio, Texas and Virginia, but no geographic focus is stated, so location alone should not rule you out.
- In its latest filing, 69% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in one of the two earlier filings, so it leans towards existing relationships and a first approach should be made with that in mind.
