Herbert A Fritch Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing says the foundation makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so you should not send it an application.
- Its giving has fallen each year, from $315,000 to $7,500 to $0 paid in the latest year, so there is little current giving to plan around.
- If your organisation is ever invited, the typical band reported runs from $2,500 to $200,000, which is not a ceiling, and half of its six organisational grants across the two earlier filings were $5,000 or less, so a modest request is the realistic size.
- The filing states no subject area or geographic focus, though its grants have mainly gone to Tennessee and Minnesota; that describes past grants, not a condition on who may be invited.
