Timashev Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Timashev Foundation says it does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a cold proposal is not how this foundation is reached.
- If your work fits its stated themes of education for innovation, arts access, humanitarian relief or climate resilience, its own description is the clearest guide to whether your project belongs there.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $30,000 and $5,000,000, and half of its grants to organisations across its recent filings were $250,000 or less, so a request near the lower end of that range is closest to its usual giving; its largest grant was about $16,500,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- Only 1% of its grant dollars to organisations in its latest filing went to groups it had also funded in its earlier filings, so most of its giving goes to recipients it has not funded before.
- The filings show grants mainly in Ohio, District of Columbia and Florida, but no geographic focus is stated, so those places are not a rule for who may apply.
