Eugene B Casey Foundation

• Eugene B Casey Foundation, based in Gaithersburg, MD, gives with a stated priority on the Metropolitan Washington Area, so a charity working there is best placed to consider it.
• The filing says it accepts no unsolicited requests and funds preselected organisations by invitation only, so a cold application should not be sent and an introduction or existing relationship is the realistic route.
• Most of its grants are modest: about 8 in 10 fall between $5,000 and $250,000, and half of its 134 grants to organisations were $50,000 or less, so a measured request fits better than a large one.
• Repeat giving is strong, with 92% of its grant dollars going to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so a newcomer should not assume an open door.
• If an approach is made, the filing asks that it include an annual report and the purpose of the grant.
