Broughton Foundation Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation says it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application falls outside how it takes them; a small charity is better off first finding a link or referral than sending a letter in the hope of a reply.
- Its recorded grants are operating support for hospitals and health foundations, fire, police and sheriff services, children's advocacy and victim-support groups, counselling and rehabilitation, youth and childcare, and community bodies such as a food bank, library, senior centre, museum and symphony, so a charity in one of those fields has a fit to show, though the filing does not state a narrower charitable field.
- Most of its grant dollars go to organisations it has funded before, with 71% of its grant dollars to organisations in the filing going to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, which suggests the foundation is relationship-led.
- About 8 in 10 of its 63 grants fall between $7,700 and $300,000, with a median of $100,000 and a largest grant of $890,000, so a request near $100,000 is typical rather than a ceiling.
- No geographic focus is stated, though the filing shows grants mainly in Texas, which is a pattern and not a rule about who may apply.
