Unsolicited applications are not accepted

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

Key takeaways

  • The foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected, and the filing says it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application would not fit; the realistic route is a connection that could lead to an invitation.
  • If your work is in children's healthcare, medical research, religious or educational work, social services or community welfare, that is where its recorded giving sits, though no geographic focus is stated and its grants have mainly gone to Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia and Virginia, which should not be read as a rule about who may apply.
  • Most of its grants are small: half of its 77 grants to organisations were $1,000 or less and the median was $1,000, so a modest request around that level fits, even though its typical band runs from $300 to $25,000 and its largest grant was $500,000.
  • Repeat giving is substantial, with 30% of its grant dollars to organisations going to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so an organisation already on its list is a stronger prospect than a new one.
  • Its giving has risen across the three filings shown, from $52,850 to $155,125 and then to $815,650 paid, but no deadline or submission route is stated.
