The Gaudio Family Foundation

• The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and contributes only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold proposal is unlikely to be considered; the filing gives no public application route, so an introduction is the realistic way in.
• Most of its grants are general operating support, with some project-specific support for conservation, frontline refugee and asylum services, and girls' education, so a request framed around one of these fits best.
• About 8 in 10 of its grants to organisations fall between $62,000 and $350,000, with a median of $200,000, though its largest grant was $700,000, so that band is a typical guide rather than a ceiling.
• Repeat funding is the dominant pattern, with 87% of grant dollars to organisations going to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so relationships matter.
• No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in New York, California, Massachusetts, District of Columbia, United Kingdom and France, but that describes past giving and is not a rule about who may apply.

The largest grants to organisations in the foundation’s latest filing:

• International Crisis Group · It is the directors intention that $500,000 of the funds be used as a contribution to icgs core work, and the remaining $200,000 to be earmarked for icgs 2025 board meeting to be held in savajevo. if icg cannot host its meeting in sarajevo, or another donor would specifically like to sponsor the meeting alone, then these funds may be released for general core support upon the approval of mr. julius gaudio on behalf of the foundation.
