The Litman Foundation

• The filing records most of the foundation's grant value as general support to a charitable gift fund, with smaller grants for religious, medical, humanitarian and educational purposes, so a request is best framed around one of those purposes.
• Its median grant is $25,000 and half of its seven organisation grants were $25,000 or less, so a modest request fits its record better than a large one, even though its typical grants are shown as ranging from $1,000 to $2,000,000.
• The filing gives no deadlines and says it accepts applications, though it specifies no form, so a short written request is the sensible starting point.
• Nearly all of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded in an earlier filing, so it appears to be relationship-led, and a first-time applicant should expect to compete with established recipients.
• No geographic focus is stated, though its grants are spread across the United States.
