The Jean & E Floyd Kvamme Foundation

• The Jean & E Floyd Kvamme Foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and gives only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered, and the filing gives no public application route.
• Its recorded grants mostly serve religious purposes, with some education, health and social-improvement giving, and 48% of recorded grant dollars went to California; other published sources name Northern California as a priority, so a Northern California organisation working in one of those areas is the closest match on the information available.
• Half of its grants are $30,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $1,000 and $800,000, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one, though that band is typical rather than a ceiling, since its largest grant was about $2,850,000.
• Because 99% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had already funded, the route in depends on an existing relationship, and an organisation without one should expect that route to be hard.
• Organisations that intend to make an open, unsolicited approach should not contact this foundation, since it does not take such requests.
