Finish Line Foundation II
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Finish Line Foundation II makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, and the filing gives no steps for seeking preselection, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered.
- Its stated areas include women and teen girls, children and single mothers, employment services, public safety, health, homelessness and hunger, and youth empowerment, so work in these fields is the kind it has supported.
- Because it works only by invitation, an existing connection to the foundation is the realistic route in.
- If you have one, a modest request fits its pattern: about 8 in 10 of its 33 grants to organisations fall between $5,000 and $100,000, and half were $15,000 or less, although its largest grant was $500,000.
- About 51% of its grant dollars to organisations in the latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so newcomers should expect a harder entry.
