The Argo Family Fund
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and that its giving is by invitation only, so a small charity should not send a cold application.
- The filing says it makes contributions only to preselected organisations and gives no subject-area criteria, so the fit of your work is hard to judge from the filing alone.
- Its recorded grants range from $18,000 to $4,450,000, and half of its six grants to organisations were $550,000 or less, so frame any figure around what your organisation genuinely needs.
- About 99% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so its giving is strongly relationship-led.
