Charles M and Joan R Taylor Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated themes are education, business and professional development, and published sources report a priority on Arkansas, with university initiatives and a women's leadership programme among the examples of its giving.
- It states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation without an invitation should not send a cold request.
- The filing shows $2,420,000 paid out in its latest year, but no grant range is stated, so a realistic request size cannot be judged from what is available.
- If your work fits those themes and serves Arkansas, the sensible first step is to look for an introduction rather than apply directly.
