Cecil & Irene Hylton Foundation

• This foundation gives primary consideration to general public support, land conservation and ecological work, and religious support, with its public and religious giving focused on Prince William County, Northern Virginia and metropolitan Washington, though its conservation giving carries no stated geographic limit.
• A typical grant falls between $10,000 and $1,000,000, with a median grant of $75,000, so a request in that range is realistic for most small nonprofits approaching it.
• Applications should include a copy of the IRS exemption certificate, the amount requested and the intended use, with accounting information to follow after the grant is used, and should be timed to one of the fixed deadlines of before March 1, June 1, September 1 or December 1.
• About seventy per cent of grant dollars go to organisations also funded in recent filings, suggesting a relationship-led pattern of repeat support, though this need not discourage a first approach.
• Only organisations qualified under IRS 501(c)(3) should apply, as the foundation states it does not fund charitable organisations that are not so qualified.
