H7 Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- H7 Foundation's declared theme is education, and its support runs through contributions to charitable organisations, so a grant writer working in that space may see some fit.
- However, the foundation makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a speculative application is not worth preparing.
- In the year reported, it paid out $5,651,620 in total, showing it is an active grantmaker, but no grant range is stated, so there is no basis here for judging what a typical award might be.
- Because it works by invitation only, this is a relationship-led funder rather than one that responds to open applications, and organisations without an existing connection should not approach it directly.
- No geographic area is specified, so nothing here indicates whether location would help or hinder an approach.
Overview
H7 Foundation is a US private foundation based in Charlottesville, VA.
What they fund
Profile derived from the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) and web pages about the foundation (governor.virginia.gov), with every statement checked against those sources. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
H7 Foundation supports educational and nonprofit initiatives. The foundation’s primary purpose is to support other tax-exempt charitable organisations through contributions, and the available descriptions identify education as a focus rather than naming narrower subject areas or particular types of eligible organisation. Contributions are made only to preselected charitable organisations; unsolicited requests are not accepted. The information available does not describe how organisations are selected, what geographic areas are served, or any application steps beyond this restriction. Its stated giving therefore centres on education and contributions to charitable organisations.
Themes
- Education
How to apply
Contributions are made only to preselected charitable organisations, and unsolicited requests are not accepted. The filing does not explain how an organisation becomes preselected or describe any further submission steps.
