Slaggie Family Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation, based in Winona, MN, makes grants across a broad mix of charitable work, including education, children's services, hospitals, community and social-service groups, arts, animal welfare, environmental work and disaster relief, so a small charity in one of these fields has a reasonable basis to ask.
- Most of its grants are small: half of its 258 grants to organisations were $5,000 or less and the median was $5,000, so a modest request suits best, though typical grants fall between $1,000 and $90,000 and the largest grant was about $2,100,000.
- The filing gives no deadlines, and the application is available by email or by calling the office, with a letter stating the request, your organisation's status and your EIN.
- In its most recent filing, 92% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in one of the two filings before, so check whether your organisation has been funded before and, if so, say so, though a first request is still open to you.
- No geographic focus is stated, but the filings show grants concentrated in Minnesota, Florida, Massachusetts and Wisconsin, so a group outside those states should still ask while bearing in mind that its recorded grants have been concentrated there.
