The Rosenthal Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a small charity should not send it a cold application.
- The filing shows general-purpose grants with no stated field, geographic focus or eligibility conditions, so it is hard to judge from the record whether your work fits.
- Half of its grants to organisations across its recent filings were $250,000 or less and the median was $250,000, so any request should be sized with that in mind.
- In its latest filing, 100% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, which points to a relationship-led approach.
- The filing gives no timing, so there is no application cycle to plan around.
Overview
The Rosenthal Foundation is a US private foundation based in Fort Worth, TX.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2025, TY2024, TY2023) 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 identify every grant purpose as general funding, without naming a particular activity or field. Recipients include charitable gift funds, a Jewish federation, a science museum, a congregation, a ballet theatre and a specialist foundation. The grant record therefore shows support reaching charitable intermediaries as well as organisations with cultural, religious and community identities. It does not describe the intended beneficiaries, a geographic preference, eligibility conditions or a broader strategy for choosing recipients. No more specific funding priorities or application criteria are stated in the available material.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants spread across the United States.
