Andersen Corporate Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your work sits in housing, education or basic needs, it fits the foundation's stated focus, and its grant record includes hunger relief and workforce development.
- Most of its grants fall between $5,000 and $30,000, with a median of $10,000, so a request near that size matches its usual pattern; its largest grant was $250,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- Applications are accepted only in its March 1–31 and August 1–31 windows, and the online application should be submitted within one of them.
- The filing shows 68% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in its earlier filing, so relationships appear to matter, but new applicants can still approach it.
- The filing shows grants mainly in Minnesota and Wisconsin, though no geographic focus is stated, so check how your location compares with that record before writing.
