Paideia Foundation

• The foundation says it does not accept unsolicited requests and gives to preselected charitable organisations, so an organisation without an existing route to it should not send a cold application.
• Where a request is possible, the typical grant band is $1,000 to $40,000, with about 8 in 10 grants in that range and a median of $10,000, though the largest grant was about $250,000, so the band is not a ceiling.
• Most grant dollars go to organisations the foundation had already funded the previous year, so a first-time request is unlikely to be the usual route.
• Its recipients are varied, including faith-based groups, schools, food and rescue services, youth and family organisations, sports bodies and cultural institutions, and no geographic focus is stated, although the filing shows grants mainly in Nebraska and Idaho.
