The Peninsula Charities Foundation II
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 its contributions are limited to preselected charitable organisations, so a small charity should not send an application unless it has been invited to do so.
- If your work falls within the fields the filing shows, such as arts and culture, conservation, health, food assistance, education, housing, animal welfare or international aid, it is worth noting that the foundation makes general and unrestricted grants to public charities.
- No geographic focus is stated, though its grants have mainly gone to New Hampshire, New York, Arizona and Massachusetts.
- Most grants are modest: about 8 in 10 fall between $3,000 and $300,000, the median grant is $10,000, and half of its grants to organisations were $10,000 or less, so a modest request fits best; that band is typical rather than a ceiling, since its largest grant was $2,000,000.
- Repeat giving is significant, with 45% of its grant dollars to organisations in its most recent filing going to groups it had also funded in earlier filings.
