Bravo Family Charitable Foundation

• The foundation describes its work as empowering young leaders in Puerto Rico through community leadership, technology, entrepreneurship and innovative projects, so check that your work matches these themes before writing.
• No geographic focus is stated, so location alone should not decide whether you apply, but its own description centres on Puerto Rico.
• It does not fund grants directly to individuals, so any request must come from an organisation.
• Half of its 37 grants to organisations were $200,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $25,000 and $1,200,000, so a request in that range fits its typical grants, though its largest grant was $1,500,000.
• Requests are made by letter, and the foundation accepts applications with no deadlines given, but 86% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had funded in earlier filings, so building contact before asking is worthwhile.
