Stuart & Eulene Murray Foundation

• The foundation says it does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a small charity should not send it a cold application.
• Its stated priority is the Southeast region of the United States, and it funds the arts, education and human services, children's futures, cultural expression, and nature and community, so work in those areas and that region is the best fit.
• Across its last two filings, half of its 32 grants to organisations were $50,000 or less, and its typical grants fall between $12,500 and $275,000, so a modest request near the lower end is most in line with its giving, though its largest grant was $1,500,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
• In its most recent filing, 22% of grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in the previous filing, so returning grantees make up a meaningful share of its giving.
