JTMF Foundation

• JTMF Foundation, based in Wilmington, DE, prioritises the Pacific Northwest, so organisations outside that priority area should weigh their fit carefully.
• Its work centres on children (especially early development from birth to five, diverse and lower-income families, Catholic elementary schools and after-school programmes), older adults (particularly Alzheimer's disease and dementia), veterans (especially mental health and employment support in the transition to civilian life) and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, so a request should sit clearly within one of these areas.
• Most grants are modest: about 8 in 10 of its 344 grants fall between $5,000 and $265,000, and half were about $22,500 or less, so a request in that range is realistic, though the largest grant made was $1,000,000.
• Applications are accepted on a rolling basis via its application link, which suits organisations with a specific, clearly defined need.
• A large share of its giving, 74% of grant dollars, went to organisations it had also funded in the prior two filings, suggesting it leans towards relationships built over time, so new applicants should present a clear, specific case rather than assume an easy first approach.
