Daniel J Loepp Family Foundation

• The foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is the one approach to avoid.
• The filing states no funding field or geographic focus, although most reported grant dollars went to Michigan organisations, so any approach should come through an existing connection rather than assuming your work fits a stated area.
• About 8 in 10 of its 54 grants to organisations fall typically between $2,500 and $72,500, and half were $10,000 or less, so a modest request around $10,000 matches most of its giving, though its largest grant was $350,000.
• In the filing, 71% of grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, which suggests it tends to return to recipients it has already chosen.
• The filing gives no timetable, so do not assume a deadline.
