The Jochum-Moll Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing says the foundation gives only to preselected organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation without an invitation should not apply cold.
- Where it does give, its stated priority is Ohio, as reported in other published sources, and its themes are higher education, welfare, hospitals and health care, Protestant churches and community funds, so work outside these areas is unlikely to fit.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $1,000 and $100,000, with a median of $11,500, so a request near that size is typical, although its largest grant was $800,000.
- In its most recent filing, 83% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing, so an existing connection with the foundation appears to matter a great deal.
