At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a cold proposal is unlikely to be considered; approach it only through an existing contact or introduction.
- If you are invited, its stated focus is research into infrastructure, sustainability and conservation projects with a significant global impact, so your project needs to sit squarely in those fields.
- Its median grant in the filing is $150,000, and half of its six grants to organisations were $150,000 or less, so a request around that size fits its pattern.
- In the filing, 100% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so its giving is relationship-led and competitive for newcomers.
