Fredericka Meyer Charitable Trust

• The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; approach it only through an existing connection or wait for an invitation.
• Its recorded grants have gone to health charities working on neurological, metabolic, cardiovascular, respiratory and joint conditions, along with a community health provider, a hospital, an animal-welfare society, a zoological society and a social-service organisation, so check that your work sits in one of these areas.
• Typical grants have been about $71,000 to $74,000, with a median of $71,000 and half of its 30 grants at $71,000 or less, so a request of roughly that scale fits its record.
• In its most recent filing, 100% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in its earlier filings, so this is a relationship-led funder where a first-time applicant should not expect a quick yes.
• No geographic focus is stated, so do not assume a location rule, and its filings give no timing for decisions.
