Storey Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Storey Foundation makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a charity should not send it an application unless it has first been invited to do so.
- Where an approach is invited, most of its grants fall between $2,500 and $60,000, but its median grant is $7,500 and its largest is $250,000, so a modest request near the lower end fits its usual pattern.
- In the filings, 71% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so relationships and continuity appear to count for more than a first approach.
- Education and religious causes emerge as themes from its grants, though the foundation does not state them as its own focus, and no geographic focus is stated.
- Charities outside its preselected circle would do better to seek other funders.
