H & B Young Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation is based in Morgan City, LA, and its grants are confined to institutions, people and purposes located in, operating in, or benefiting the people of Morgan City, so organisations working elsewhere are unlikely to fit.
- Its record shows support for schools, educational opportunities, local aid and outreach, meals for older residents, churches, civic services and cultural events, so a Morgan City project in one of these areas is the clearest match.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants to organisations fall between $3,500 and $190,000, and the median is $24,000, so a modest request in that region is typical, though the largest grant was about $455,000.
- Around 96% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded before, so a new applicant should be ready to make a specific, well-evidenced case.
- No deadline is stated, so you can send a written request giving your organisation's name, address, telephone number, contact person, amount requested, purpose, detailed plan and other planned funding, along with supporting documents.
