The Aline and Edgar Igleheart Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send a cold application and should first look for a connection that could lead to an invitation.
- Its giving recurs in animal welfare, including organisations that rescue and rehome homeless animals, alongside a varied set of other causes, so animal welfare groups have the clearest fit.
- Most of its grants are small: about 8 in 10 of its 46 grants fall between $100 and $1,500, with a median of $700, so a modest request is realistic, though its largest grant was $10,000.
- Most of its grant dollars go to organisations it has funded before, so an existing relationship matters more than anything else.
- No geographic focus is stated, so location alone should not be taken to rule an organisation in or out.
