This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.

Key takeaways

  • The foundation says it makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation that has not been selected should not send it a request, and no route for seeking selection is stated.
  • Its filings describe general support for animal-rescue and missionary bodies, Salvation Army corps, and public television and public-media organisations, and state no wider subject priority or eligibility requirement.
  • The filings show grants mainly in Florida and New York, but no geographic focus is stated, so that pattern should not be read as a rule about who may apply.
  • Where an organisation already has a connection, repeat funding is strong: in its latest filing, 100% of grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in the filings before it.
  • Typical grants have fallen between $115,000 and $3,100,000, with a median of about $1,900,000, so any request should be sized with that band in mind, though it is not the full range of grants.
