Sonia Raymund Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The filing describes its grants as general support across a broad mix of charitable organisations, including youth, education, community, religious, arts, public media, health and animal-welfare groups, so a small charity working in any of these areas may fit, though no narrower focus is stated.
- Its grants have mainly gone to Florida and Maryland, but no geographic focus is stated, so the filing does not limit who may apply by location.
- About 8 in 10 of its 54 grants to organisations fall between $1,000 and $50,000, with a median of $10,000, so a request in that region is typical; its largest grant was $120,000, so this band is not a ceiling.
- The filing gives no deadlines, though it says the foundation accepts applications, so a short letter highlighting your organisation's activities is the route, and the filing does not say when to send it.
- Repeat recipients received 60% of its grant dollars to organisations, which suggests existing relationships count for a good deal, though the filing does not say how new applicants fare.
