Yarborough Foundation

• The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a charity should not send it a cold application.
• Its typical grants fall between $10,000 and $30,000, with about 8 in 10 of its 158 grants in that band and a median of $15,000, but the largest was about $145,000, so the band is not a ceiling.
• Most of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded before, with 84% going to repeat recipients, so a new organisation should expect a relationship-led route rather than an open competition.
• No geographic focus is stated, so location is not a stated bar, and the filings set no eligibility criteria or general field of giving, so a charity should judge its fit against the kinds of support described in the filing.
