Pearl M. & Julia J. Harmon Foundation

• Most of the foundation's grants are unrestricted contributions, and about 8 in 10 of its 87 grants to organisations fall between $1,000 and $3,500, with a median of $2,500.
• That band is typical rather than a cap, since the largest grant was about $73,000, so a modest request fits its usual pattern.
• Its stated focus is Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas and New Mexico, with a priority for Northeast Oklahoma, so a clear link to those places should come first.
• Its low-interest loans cover buildings, land and physical items for private charitable or religious organisations, and applicants need a multi-year track record and must print and mail the form to its PRI Applications address in Tulsa.
• The loans exclude operating expenses, endowments, salaries, pre-existing debt and startups, and the filing shows that about 30% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded before, so a relationship with its trustees may matter more than a cold approach.
