Lennar Foundation

• The foundation's three stated areas, self-sufficiency, building communities and health initiatives, are broad, so a request that fits one of them, such as construction career-skills training, homeless rehabilitation, support for returning military and veterans, or elderly care, is worth considering.
• Half of its grants to organisations were $25,000 or less, so a modest request is realistic, and about 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $6,250 and $785,000, a typical band rather than a limit.
• Requests should be made in writing and include a copy of the organisation's IRS determination letter, and the filing gives no deadlines, so check with the foundation before assuming any timing.
• Repeat giving is significant, with 61% of its grant dollars going to organisations it had funded before, so an existing relationship or prior grant may help, though no geographic focus is stated, and its grants have mainly gone to Florida, California, Texas and New York.
