Henry E Haller Jr Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated focus is scientific and technological research through universities and medical facilities, so work of that kind fits most closely, though its recorded grants also reach educational and health and medical organisations.
- Most of its grants are modest: half of its grants to organisations were $40,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $1,000 and $400,000, so a request in that typical band is realistic, although its largest grant was about $1,000,000.
- The filing asks that requests state the amount requested and the proposed use of funds, and it gives no deadlines, so a short letter covering both points needs no particular timing.
- Repeat giving is strong, with 72% of its grant dollars to organisations going to groups it had already funded in earlier filings, and it prioritises relationships with institutions it expects to last, so building contact before asking is likely to matter.
- No geographic focus is stated, so location alone should not be taken as a reason to rule an organisation out.
