Knopf Family Foundation

• The foundation's grants are concentrated on animal welfare, including rescue and shelter groups, veterinary and rehabilitation care and wildlife rescue, so an animal-focused request is the clearest fit, though the foundation does not state this focus itself.
• Typical grants fall between $10,000 and $50,000, with a median of $25,000, and half of its grants to organisations are $25,000 or less, so a request in that range is realistic; the largest grant in the filing was $80,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
• The filing shows 94% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so it appears relationship-led, and it is worth checking for any existing link before you write.
• Apply by sending a formal letter stating your request and your organisation's charitable purpose; the filing gives no deadlines and says the foundation accepts applications.
• Its grants lean towards Florida, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, but no geographic focus is stated, so treat that as a pattern rather than a rule.
