James and Deborah Burrows Foundation

• The filing gives no stated subject focus.
• Its recorded grants go to a broad mix of recipients, including hospitals, food banks, animal-welfare groups, religious institutions, schools and arts bodies, and the reported purpose is general for every grant, so check whether your organisation is the kind of recipient already listed.
• Its grants are mainly in California, New York and District of Columbia, but the filing states no geographic focus, so that pattern is not a rule about who may apply.
• Half of its 149 grants to organisations were $10,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fell between $1,000 and $50,000, so a modest request close to the $10,000 median fits its recorded giving; the $100,000 largest grant is not a ceiling.
• The filing says it accepts applications, gives no deadlines and requires no specific form, and 80% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so a new organisation should expect to approach it without an established relationship and should build one where it can; the filing states no exclusions or eligibility rules.
