Pantas and Ting Sutardja Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Pantas and Ting Sutardja Foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered.
- Its grants have gone to university, children's-health and philanthropy foundations, with education the leading field and healthcare recurring, so your work fits best if it sits in one of those areas.
- Most of its grant dollars in the filing went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so this is a relationship-led funder and a route in through an existing connection is the realistic approach.
- Half its grants were about $645,000 or less, and its typical grants fall between $81,500 and $2,150,000, so a small charity should pitch a request at the lower end of that range.
- The filings show grants mainly in California and New York, but no geographic focus is stated, so ask about fit rather than ruling yourself out on location.

What they fund

Priority Areas
Its recorded grants went to university, children’s-health and philanthropy foundations, with stated purposes of education, healthcare and charitable purposes. Education was the leading stated field by grant value; healthcare also recurred, and charitable-purpose contributions made up the remaining recorded giving. The recipients were public charities, and the listed contributions were made to organisations rather than individuals. The grants supported education purposes at a university foundation, healthcare through a children’s-health foundation’s general fund, and charitable purposes through a philanthropy fund. The application information describes giving to preselected charitable organisations and says unsolicited requests are not accepted.
