The Titmus Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Titmus Foundation, based in Sutherland, VA, states an emphasis on Baptist and religious organisations, higher education, health and cancer research, and child welfare, so work in those fields is the clearest fit.
- Most of its grants are modest: about 8 in 10 of its 205 grants to organisations fall between $300 and $10,000, and half are $1,000 or less, so a request in that region suits it best.
- Its largest grant was $54,000, so that typical band is not a limit on what it may give.
- Its giving leans towards repeat grantees, with 81% of its grant dollars to organisations going to groups it had also funded in its earlier filings, so a first request should be framed with that in mind, though it accepts applications and no deadlines are given.
- The filings show grants mainly in Virginia and North Carolina, but no geographic focus is stated, so a charity elsewhere should not assume it is excluded.
