Eugene Ewan Mori Foundation

• If your work centres on protecting endangered animals, animal protection or the natural environment, the foundation's stated focus matches, and it favours proactive organisations with reasonable administrative costs and little mainstream publicity, so present your work with those points in mind.
• Its typical grant band runs from $10,000 to $450,000, with a median of $220,000 and about 8 in 10 of its 11 grants to organisations in that band, though its largest grant was $500,000, so the band is not a ceiling, and half of those grants were $220,000 or less, so a modest request is also realistic.
• In its latest filing, all of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in one of its two earlier filings, so it leans towards organisations it already knows, and it is worth making contact first to ask how it works with new organisations.
• It accepts applications on a rolling basis and invites charities in need of assistance to get in touch to discuss working together, so you can approach it at any time.
• No geographic focus is stated and its grants have mainly been in Florida, so ask it directly whether location matters rather than assuming it does.
