The Corbett Family Charitable Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and gives only to organisations it has preselected, so a charity without an invitation should not send an application, and the filing describes no other way to be considered.
- Its grants are mostly modest: about 8 in 10 fall between $5,000 and $150,000 and half are $10,000 or less, with a median of $10,000, though its largest grant was $2,500,000, so that band is typical rather than a ceiling.
- Most of its grant dollars go to organisations it has funded before (94% in the filing), so giving looks relationship-led and a new organisation would be competing for a small share.
- Its recorded giving is broad across schools, churches, arts, food banks, health and environmental groups, and the stated purposes are mostly support or organisational support, so fit depends more on being invited than on subject.
- No geographic focus is stated, although grants are mainly in Indiana and Florida, which is a pattern in the grants rather than a rule about who may apply.

Recipients include a university and an art museum; schools and a boys' camp; churches; arts organisations; animal-welfare organisations; food banks; health and research organisations; and environmental organisations. Grant purposes are recorded as support or organisational support. Contributions go only to preselected charitable organisations; the foundation does not accept unsolicited requests.
