Apmpff
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests, and its contributions are limited to preselected charitable organisations, so a small charity should not send a cold application.
- If you have no existing link that could lead to an invitation, the filing gives no public route in, and your time is better spent on other funders.
- Where an invitation does come, its typical grants fall between $10,000 and $155,000 and the median grant is $40,000, so a request near that middle is the realistic size; the largest grant was about $2,400,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- Most of its grant dollars go to organisations it has funded before (93% in the filing), so support is strongly repeat-led and a first approach is unlikely to be the route in.
