Lewis Humphreys Charitable Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust's stated priorities are education, healthcare and community development, and its grant record includes schools and universities, healthcare providers, youth organisations, churches and social-service groups, so a community-serving project in one of these areas is a reasonable fit.
- No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Kansas and Texas, but that describes past giving and is not a rule about who may apply.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants to organisations fall between $10,000 and $315,000, and the median is about $62,500, so a request near that figure is typical, although its largest grant was about $625,000.
- Applications are made through Bank of America's philanthropic search-for-grants page and are due by April 30.
- In its most recent filing, 84% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so a new applicant should expect repeat recipients to take most of the money.
