Hailey Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Hailey Family Foundation states that its primary purpose is helping charitable organisations in the Southeast United States, so the Southeast priority is the first thing to check against your work.
- Its application method is recorded as by invitation only and it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold letter is unlikely to be considered; a warm introduction through someone who already knows the foundation is the more sensible route.
- Its most recent filing reports $453,000 paid in annual giving, but no grant range is stated, so the filing gives you no basis for sizing a request and you should keep any ask modest until you know more.
- No submission deadlines are stated, so timing is open once you have a connection, and the invitation-only approach suggests the foundation is relationship-led rather than competitive.
Overview
Hailey Family Foundation is a US private foundation based in Carthage, TN.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2025, TY2024, TY2023) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The foundation states that its primary purpose is helping charitable organisations in the Southeast United States. This identifies a broad charitable constituency and a regional focus, but does not name particular subject areas or types of charitable organisation. The grant entries in the filings are reported as general support, while the recipient is recorded only as LIST ATTACHED; the returns therefore do not show which kinds of organisations received the grants. Its application information describes letter requests specifying applicants’ qualifications and tax status, and states that there are no submission deadlines.
Geographic Focus
Priority: Southeast U.S.
How to apply
The filing's instructions say to send a letter request specifying the applicant's qualifications and tax status.
