Radheya
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 preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send an unprompted application; an approach makes sense only if it already has a connection that could lead to an invitation.
- Its recorded grants have mostly been general support to public charities, including higher-education institutions, a community and cultural centre, a temple, a food-relief organisation and an international refugee-relief organisation, but no thematic funding field is stated, so the work should not be tailored to a field the filing does not name.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $10,000 and $360,000, with a median of $200,000, so a request near the middle of that typical band is a sensible size, though its largest grant was about $1,000,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- Repeat giving is strong, with 70% of its grant dollars to organisations in its latest filing going to organisations it had also funded earlier, so an existing relationship is likely to matter more than the size of the request.
- The filing gives no application steps or deadlines, so there is no set timing to plan around beyond the invitation route.
