Invitation only

Unsolicited applications are not accepted

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, so a charity should not send it an application unless it has first been invited to do so.
Its filed purposes span pre-release programmes and aftercare, child and family support, emergency food, educational programming, medical-equipment distribution and community housing, so a charity can check whether its work falls within that range.
Most of its grants fall between $5,000 and $25,000, with a median of $10,000, so a request of that order fits its usual pattern, although the largest grant reported was $70,000.
Its grant dollars are heavily repeat: 65% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, which suggests an established connection is likely to count for more than a cold approach.
No geographic focus is stated, so the Texas, Colorado, California, Tennessee and Mississippi pattern in the filing is not a rule about who may apply.
