CLB Foundation

• Because the foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, a cold application is unlikely to be considered, so the realistic route is a relationship built before any request.
• Its recorded grants have chiefly supported tuition at schools and colleges, with other grants going to community and children's programmes, camps, churches and organisations working on human trafficking and domestic abuse, so work in those areas fits best.
• About 8 in 10 of its grants to organisations fall between $12,000 and $155,000, with a median of $50,000, so a request near $50,000 sits within the usual range, although the largest grant was $250,000.
• The filing shows that 69% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so it tends to return to existing grantees.
• The filing states no geographic focus; its grants are mainly in Minnesota, Florida and Michigan, but that describes where it has given, not who may apply.
