Mike & Linda Fiterman Family Foundation

• The filing describes varied charitable support, with grants going to Jewish communal and educational organisations, congregations, United Ways, health and social-service charities, schools and youth organisations, and other community and cultural organisations.
• It mainly gave to Minnesota organisations and some elsewhere, but no geographic focus is stated, so a charity outside Minnesota should not assume it is excluded.
• Typical grants fall between $1,000 and $35,000, and the median is $5,000, so a request near $5,000 is realistic; the largest grant was about $1,500,000, so the typical band is not a ceiling.
• The filing gives no deadlines but says the foundation accepts applications, so contact it to obtain the application forms before you write, and note that 89% of its grant dollars in one filing went to organisations it had also funded in the previous filing, so existing relationships appear to count for a lot.
• Individuals and lobbying or advocacy groups should not apply, because the filing says it does not fund them.
