Clover Foundation

• Clover Foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered.
• Its work centres on educational, cultural, family and personal development projects guided by Christian values, with a focus on projects inspired by the Catholic Prelature of Opus Dei, so your work should clearly match those themes before you approach it.
• Its typical grant band runs from $20,000 to $2,000,000, and the median grant is $100,000, so a request in the low to mid six figures sits in the common range, although its largest grant has been larger than that band.
• About 71% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded before, so a first-time applicant should expect the foundation to lean toward established partners.
• Its geographic priority is worldwide, so location is unlikely to be the main test; fit with its themes and values is.
