Delta Air Lines Foundation

• Its stated pillars are Environment, Equity, Education and Entire Wellness, and its filings show grants for education and training, health care, humanitarian response, community services and arts and culture, so check that your work fits one of these areas.
• It gives priority to programmes meeting compelling needs in communities where Delta has a presence, and no geographic focus is stated, though its filings show grants mainly in Georgia, District of Columbia and New York.
• Most of its grants fall between $100,000 and $1,100,000, which is a typical band rather than a ceiling, with a median of $400,000, but half of its grants are $400,000 or less, so a request of that size is realistic.
• In its most recent filing, 85% of grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so expect existing relationships to matter; it accepts applications through its online form at www.delta.com/charity, and its filing gives no deadlines.
