Key takeaways

Hewit Family Foundation gives general support, and its recorded grants have gone to hospitals and hospital foundations, a university foundation, health charities, and organisations working on marine life and oceans, so fit depends on whether your work sits in those areas, though the filing does not name a narrower field.
Only organisations qualifying under section 501(c)(3) are eligible, so an organisation without that status should not apply.
About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $10,000 and $575,000, with a median of $30,000, so a modest request in the tens of thousands is a sensible starting point, although its largest grant was $600,000.
Apply by submitting a written request with a description of the project; the filing gives no deadlines and says it accepts applications, so timing is not fixed by a deadline.
Repeat funding is significant: in one recent filing, 40% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded the year before, so a prior grant may help, though a first approach is still open to you.

Priority Areas

The foundation’s recorded grants are for general support. They went to hospital and hospital-foundation recipients, a university foundation, health charities and organisations focused on marine life and oceans. Recipients also include organisations working in epilepsy and restless legs syndrome.

Most recorded funding went to organisations in Colorado, with smaller shares going to Florida and Texas. The application information limits awards to organisations qualifying under section 501(c)(3) and requests a written description of the project.
