Swieca Children Foundation

• The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and gives only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered.
• Unless you already have a relationship that could lead to an invitation, it is best not to spend much time on a formal request.
• Its grants have been recorded as education, though its grant rows also include emergency-response and cultural organisations, and no narrower education focus or geographic focus is stated, so your location alone should not rule you out.
• Most of its grants are modest, with about 8 in 10 falling between $160 and $8,600 and a median of $1,800, so a request near that size fits its usual pattern, even though its largest grant was about $4,650,000 to a donor-advised fund.
• Repeat giving is heavy, since 99% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so new organisations face a harder path.
