The Rawley Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing says The Rawley Foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and gives only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold approach is unlikely to be considered.
- Its stated purposes are overwhelmingly general, and its recorded grants cover healthcare, education, social services, housing, conservation and other fields, so a clear account of your work may fit.
- Most of its grant dollars go to organisations it has funded before (91% in the latest filing), so it is relationship-led: an existing connection matters more than the size of the ask.
- Where there is no such connection, the filing offers no route in, so your time may be better spent on funders that accept requests.
- Where a connection does exist, a modest request suits its giving: half of its 129 grants across the filings were $32,000 or less, and its typical grants fall between $15,000 and $150,000.

Priority Areas
The foundation's recorded grants go to charitable organisations, but their stated purposes are overwhelmingly general rather than tied to a named field. Recipients include healthcare organisations, educational institutions, social-service and housing groups, faith organisations, conservation bodies, food assistance organisations, and cultural and recreational organisations. The grants are concentrated in Texas, with substantial additional giving to organisations in Colorado, New York and Washington. The filing says the foundation gives only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so it offers no open route for charities to apply.
