The Kranzberg Family Charitable Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation is based in St Louis, Missouri, and its filing shows grants to a broad mix of organisations, including Jewish community groups, educational institutions, arts and cultural bodies, museums, libraries, health organisations and social-service charities.
- Half of its 380 grants to organisations were $1,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $100 and $30,500, so a modest request fits its usual pattern.
- That band is typical rather than a ceiling, since the largest grant was about $3,000,000.
- Missouri accounts for 99% of grant dollars, and 96% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so a first approach should be a written request with complete information, and the filing gives no deadlines.
- No geographic focus is stated, so the Missouri pattern is a guide to where it has given rather than a rule about who may apply.
