Dortha Sue Greene Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation is a small giver: its filing shows annual giving of $110,300, and about half of its 16 grants to organisations were $10,000 or less, so a modest request is the more realistic fit.
- About 8 in 10 of those grants fall between $600 and $75,500, which is a typical band rather than a ceiling, since its largest grant was about $78,500.
- Only organisations that qualify as exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code are eligible, so confirm your tax status before writing, and send a letter with the proposed amount, the charitable action the money would fund and proof of that status.
- Requests are due on January 1 of the year of the contribution request, so plan your timing around that date.
- Half of its grant dollars in the latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing, which suggests that existing relationships matter, but the filings state no geographic focus, so its mainly Arkansas and Ohio grants should not be read as a rule about who may apply.
Overview
Dortha Sue Greene Foundation is a US private foundation based in Lowell, AR.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The filings describe its grants as being for charitable purposes and show support for a varied range of organisations, including a community church, a clinic, a children’s and family advocacy centre, arts and botanical-garden organisations, a camp and a sports foundation. The records show this mix of recipients rather than a stated funding field or named programme. The foundation requires requesting organisations to qualify as exempt under section 501(c)(3). It asks for a letter setting out the proposed amount, the charitable action to be carried out and proof of the organisation’s tax status.
