Alcibie Alliance
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Alcibie Alliance does not accept unsolicited requests and makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered.
- Its filings do not describe a route for organisations to ask for funding, so any approach should go through someone who already knows its work.
- Where it does give, most grants fall between $15,000 and $100,000, with a median of $60,000 and a largest of about $160,000, so a request in that range matches its usual pattern, though that band is typical rather than a limit.
- Repeat giving is strong: all of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so the existing relationships matter.
