Lynne & Andrew Redleaf Foundation

• This foundation gives by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so there is no open route to apply unless invited.
• Giving is heavily relationship-led: 95% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in its two prior filings, meaning most of its money goes to repeat recipients rather than new ones.
• A realistic request would sit at or below the median grant of $50,000, since half of its 70 grants across three filings were at that level or lower, though grants have ranged from $10,000 up to $1,100,000, with about eight in ten falling in that band and the largest grant around $3,000,000.
• Its funded purposes are varied, covering mental-health and addiction services, general operating and support costs, building and endowed-directorship funds, and a healing centre, with recipients including health-care providers, schools and universities, family and child services, Jewish community organisations, animal-welfare services and reading programmes.
• Because it does not accept unsolicited requests, small nonprofits without an existing connection or invitation should not approach it directly.
