Robert W Duggan Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Because the foundation accepts no unsolicited requests and makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations, a small charity should not send a cold proposal.
- Approach it only if you already have a route to an invitation, since the filing gives no further application steps.
- Its latest filing shows $0 paid out, against a typical year of about $1,350,000, so the timing of any invitation is hard to predict.
- If you are invited, half of its grants across its two earlier filings were $100,000 or less, so a request of around that size matches the recorded pattern, though its grants have run from $50,000 to $5,050,000.
- The filing states no general funding focus and no geographic focus, and the grants it does show mainly in Costa Rica and California describe past giving, not a rule about who may apply.
Overview
Robert W Duggan Foundation is a US private foundation based in Clearwater, FL.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) 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 filings do not state a general funding focus. Recorded grants supported development of a peace museum, staff and educational scholarships, a school, leukemia awareness and support services, a microbiome fund, a religious contribution and a fundraising event. Recipients included educational institutions, a religious organisation, a health-support organisation and a foundation. This mix describes the grants recorded rather than an expressly stated programme of priorities. The filings provide no general eligibility criteria or explanation of the foundation’s geographic approach, so its preferred applicants and areas cannot be established.
