Paul and Jenna Segal Family Foundation

• The foundation makes contributions only to preselected organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation that has not been invited should not send a cold application.
• Its recorded grants go to a varied mix of medical colleges and health systems, universities, arts organisations, museums, community groups and advocacy bodies, and its stated purpose is operations, so a charity with an operating need may fit.
• Typical grants fall between $5,000 and $250,000, the median is $30,000 and half of its grants are $30,000 or less, so a modest request sits within its usual range, although its largest grant was $500,000.
• Repeat giving is strong: 82% of its grant dollars to organisations went to recipients it had funded before, so the foundation looks relationship-led rather than open to new applicants.
• The filing gives no application steps or timing, so there is no published schedule to plan around.
