Kozmetsky Family Foundation

• The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send it a cold proposal and should approach it only through an invitation or an existing connection.
• If your work centres on youth mental health, or on the clinical, school-based or family services the filing records, the fit is strongest.
• Where an invitation is secured, a request in the typical range of $40,000 to $200,000 is realistic, with $100,000 the median, though the largest grant reported was $600,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
• Half of its grants to organisations were $100,000 or less, and in the latest filing 51% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier year, so existing relationships appear to matter.
• The filing shows grants mainly in Texas, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not assume a project outside Texas is excluded.
