Reid Robert and Jean Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and works only by invitation, so a small charity should not send a cold application and should look for an existing contact or another route to being invited.
- Its recorded grants go chiefly to hospitals and hospital foundations, universities and colleges, a youth-serving community organisation and an Episcopal church, so work in those areas is the closest fit.
- Half of its grants to organisations in the filing were $150,000 or less, and the typical band runs from $50,000 to $1,050,000, a band that is not a ceiling, so a modest request is more in keeping with its giving.
- All of its grant dollars to organisations in the latest filing went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, which suggests relationships matter a great deal.
- The filing states no geographic focus, though most of its grants are in Washington, so a charity elsewhere should not assume it is excluded.
Overview
Reid Robert and Jean Family Foundation is a US private foundation administered by its trustee, BMO Bank N A, in Chicago, IL.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 13 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The filings do not state a grantmaking field. Their recorded grants are described as program support and go chiefly to hospitals and hospital foundations, universities and colleges, alongside a youth-serving community organisation and an Episcopal church. The grant record therefore spans medical institutions, higher education, youth services and a religious congregation in Washington. The filings do not give broader funding aims, applicant criteria, or a stated geographic preference. Requests are limited to charitable organisations selected in advance.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Washington.
