Rick C & Belinda G Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation contributes only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application will not be considered and any approach should start from an existing connection.
- Where grant dollars have gone, 93% went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so a relationship already in place matters more than the strength of the proposal alone.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $18,000 and $200,000, with a median of $100,000, so a request in that range is typical, though that band is not a ceiling because its largest grant was $400,000.
- The filing states no geographic focus and names no field of work; its grants have mainly gone to organisations in Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia and Texas, which describes past giving rather than limiting who may apply.
- Organisations that are not already known to the foundation should not send an unsolicited request, as the foundation does not accept them.

What they fund

Priority Areas
The foundation's filings do not identify a particular field of work; they describe its grants as furthering recipient organisations' exempt purposes. Its grants went to nonprofit organisations, including ministries, children's shelters, family-services organisations, an economic-opportunity agency and mentoring organisations. The record also includes recipients whose names refer to life, compassion and restoring humanity, without explaining what activities those grants financed. Overall, its recorded giving reaches a range of charitable service organisations rather than one named programme or cause. Contributions are made to preselected charitable organisations, and unsolicited requests are not accepted.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia and Texas.
