The Yvette & Arthur Eder Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated mission is helping sick or distressed children and their families, and its website also mentions children's camps, wish-granting organisations and funds in children's medical centres and other hospitals, so a child-and-family programme is the clearest fit.
- The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; approach it only where you already have a link to it.
- Most of its grants are modest: about 8 in 10 of its 52 grants to organisations fall between $10,000 and $110,000, and half were $50,000 or less, so a request in that region fits, though the largest grant was about $1,000,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
- In the filing, 86% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded before, which suggests existing relationships matter more than an unprompted approach.
- The filing states no geographic focus, so location alone should not decide whether you approach it.
