The Tijori Foundation

• The Tijori Foundation makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so there is no route to apply directly; approach, if any, must come through an existing relationship or an invitation from the foundation.
• Its giving is heavily relationship-led, with 99% of grant dollars going to organisations it had also funded in the previous two filings, so charities with no prior connection face a real hurdle.
• Recorded grants span general and unrestricted support, charitable gift funds, humanitarian relief, mental health, climate adaptation, economic empowerment and livelihood projects, religious congregations, children and young people's charities, sport and recreation, camps, hospitals and medical research, though these describe past grants rather than stated funding priorities.
• About 8 in 10 of its 90 grants to organisations fell between $10,000 and $500,000, with a median grant of $25,000, so a modest request in that range reflects typical giving, while the largest grant on record was $2,000,000.
• No geographic focus is stated, so location should not be assumed to be a barrier, but given the invitation-only approach, organisations without an existing link to the foundation should not plan to apply.
