HRH Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; a small charity should wait for an invitation or make an introduction through a contact, rather than send an unrequested proposal.
- Its grants span youth services, community revitalisation, arts and cultural bodies, a historical society, a domestic-abuse organisation, a university and a cathedral, with no single stated programme area, so fit is best judged by how closely your work resembles these recipients.
- About 8 in 10 of its 12 grants to organisations fall between $50,000 and $1,000,000, with a median of $250,000, but half were $250,000 or less, and the largest was $2,000,000, so that band is typical rather than a ceiling.
- Giving has fallen in each of its last three filings, to $680,000 in the most recent, and 37% of its grant dollars to organisations in that filing went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing, so an existing relationship counts for a good deal.
- No geographic focus is stated, and the filing shows its grants mainly in Indiana, Virginia, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia; a charity elsewhere should not assume it is excluded, but should expect those places to be where its known giving has concentrated.
Overview
HRH Foundation is a US private foundation based in Terre Haute, IN.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2025, TY2024, TY2023) 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
The filings describe the foundation’s grants as unrestricted or for the recipient to use as it sees fit. Recipients include youth-service and community-revitalisation organisations, a historical society, a domestic-abuse organisation, arts organisations and cultural institutions, a university, and a cathedral. The grants therefore reach organisations working in several fields, rather than a single stated programme area. Recipients are located in Indiana, Virginia, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. The filings do not set out an eligibility framework, name preferred types of applicant, or describe a selection approach beyond support for preselected charitable organisations.
Geographic Focus
