Banyan Gate Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send it a cold application.
- If your work is women's health research, that is the field behind most of its recorded grant dollars, though its record also shows one smaller grant for university athletics equipment.
- The filing reports $100,000 paid in the latest year against a typical year of about $20,000, so a modest request is more likely to fit its usual pattern than a large one.
- None of its grant dollars in the latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in its earlier filing, so do not count on repeat funding.
- As the filing sets out no applicant-led process, an existing relationship or a proper introduction is a more realistic route than a written request.
Overview
Banyan Gate Foundation is a US private foundation based in Palm Beach, FL.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2025, TY2024, TY2023) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The foundation's recorded grants have supported women's health research and university track and field equipment. Women's health research accounts for most of the recorded grant dollars, while one smaller grant supported athletics equipment at a university. Its record shows grants to a hospital for research and to a university for athletics, rather than an identified set of wider funding fields. The available filing does not state who is eligible or identify a preferred location for grants. It records that contributions are made only to preselected charitable organisations, without setting out an applicant-led process. The grant record is therefore the evidence for the fields and recipient types described here; it does not establish a broader programme or other priorities.
