The Glenn and Janice McCoy Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation accepts requests only by invitation and does not take unsolicited applications, so a small charity should look for an existing connection or introduction before approaching it.
- Its stated themes are vulnerable children and families, healthcare and medical missions, blind or visually impaired people, addictions and recovery, and spiritual growth and outreach, and it favours projects designed sustainably with the community served that track outcomes and impact.
- Most of its grants are modest: about 8 in 10 fall between $10,000 and $150,000 and half of its grants to organisations are $20,000 or less, though the largest was $285,000, so a request near the lower end is the more realistic starting point and the band is typical rather than a ceiling.
- The filing shows 43% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so the foundation is relationship-led, and an organisation new to it should expect to build that relationship first.
- Do not approach it for political parties, candidates or activities, general contributions to churches or other religious organisations, individuals, international organisations not connected to U.S. nonprofits, or past operating deficits or debt reduction.
