Kimmy Duong Foundation

• The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a cold application is unlikely to be the way in.
• Its stated work in education, health, welfare, humanitarian aid and veterans' support, for Vietnamese and American communities, gives a clear test of fit, and the filing does not state a geographic focus that limits who may apply.
• Most of its grants fall between $1,000 and $3,000, half of its grants were $2,000 or less, and the median is $2,000, so a modest, specific request matches its usual practice, though its largest grant was $260,000.
• Repeat giving is high: 99% of its grant dollars in the most recent filing went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings.
• Its scholarship programme is for students enrolled at participating institutions, so an individual student who is not enrolled at one would not qualify.
