TMT Charitable Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- TMT Charitable Foundation makes grants by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so this is not an open application opportunity; a small charity without an existing relationship is unlikely to be able to approach it directly.
- Its filings show support for schools and a college, youth and family-service organisations, and work in environmental conservation, human trafficking prevention, health, the arts and religious life, with grants also going to organisations supporting children and young people, community services and education; no geographic focus is stated, though the filings show grants mainly in Connecticut and New Hampshire.
- About 8 in 10 of its 40 grants to organisations fall between $20,000 and $800,000, and the median grant was $75,000, so a request in that range reflects its typical pattern, though one grant of about $9,600,000 shows it can also make much larger awards.
- Giving has risen sharply each year, reaching $16,883,307 in its most recent filing.
- Because 95% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in the two previous filings, its giving looks heavily relationship-led and weighted toward repeat recipients rather than new, unsolicited applicants.
Overview
TMT Charitable Foundation is a US private foundation based in Wichita, KS.
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 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The filings record grants to schools and a college, youth and family-service organisations, and organisations working in environmental conservation, human trafficking prevention, health, the arts and religious life. Grants also went to charitable organisations supporting children and young people, community services and education. The recorded purposes are described as general, so the filings do not identify a more specific programme focus or state which organisations are eligible. The application information says contributions are made only to preselected charitable organisations, rather than in response to unsolicited requests. Its grants are therefore not presented as an open application opportunity.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Connecticut and New Hampshire.
