Priddy Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing says the foundation gives only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and a warm introduction is the realistic route.
- For sizing, about 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $1,000 and $2,000,000, the median grant is $200,000, and half of its grants are $200,000 or less, so a request in the low hundreds of thousands fits its recorded giving; this band is typical rather than a ceiling, since its largest grant was $2,500,000.
- The filing does not state a geographic focus, though most grants are in Louisiana, and its recorded grants span higher education, arts, health, community and scholarship support, so a group in those fields has the clearest comparison.
- All of its grant dollars to organisations in the latest filing went to organisations it had funded in earlier filings, so the foundation appears relationship-led and a new applicant should expect a long process rather than a one-off request.
Overview
Priddy Family Foundation is a US private foundation based in Las Vegas, NV.
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
Across the recorded grants, the foundation's largest support goes to higher education and a national history museum, with most grants recorded as general support and some as endowment funding. Other recipients include a clinical music-therapy programme, an opera association, community-development organisations, a toy drive and organisations providing scholarship support. The grant record is concentrated in Louisiana, with further support in Nevada and smaller amounts in New York and Texas. The filings therefore show substantial institutional giving alongside smaller grants across arts, health, community and charitable activities; they do not state wider eligibility rules or a general funding policy.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Louisiana.
How to apply
The filing says the foundation contributes only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests; it gives no further submission steps.
