Norman M Kronick Fort Worth Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Its stated mission of helping homeless and hungry people in its community, and its priority on Fort Worth and North Texas, make homelessness and hunger relief work in that area the clearest fit.
- It accepts no unsolicited requests and gives only to preselected organisations, so a small nonprofit should not send a cold proposal and should not expect the filing to describe any open route in.
- Typical grants fall between $10,000 and $180,000, and half of its grants to organisations are $25,000 or less, so a request near $25,000 is a realistic size, though the largest grant was about $1,000,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- Repeat organisations received 57% of its grant dollars, so the foundation appears relationship-led, and an organisation that has never been funded should weigh that before deciding how to approach it.
