Patricia A and William E LaMothe Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated mission is to revitalise authentic Catholic classical education across the United States and beyond, so a request fits best if your work sits clearly within that area.
- It states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered.
- The filing gives no grant range and no geographic focus, so it cannot tell you what size of request or which location suits; it paid $2,763,019 in total, which shows its scale but not what any single grant is.
- No deadlines are stated, so there is no set window to plan around.
- Any approach should come through an existing contact or a warm introduction rather than a general letter.
