Remick Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation's filing says it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send a cold proposal and should approach it only through an introduction or invitation.
- If your work falls within educational opportunities, food security, safe and affordable housing, or healthcare and healing, it fits the foundation's stated fields.
- Typical grants fall between $25,000 and $150,000, with a median of $60,000, though the largest grant was $500,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- Repeat giving is substantial, with 53% of grant dollars to organisations going to groups it had funded in earlier filings, so existing relationships appear to matter.
- Most grants are recorded as general support, so describe your organisation's overall work rather than a single programme.
