Marc Charitable Fund

• The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and gives to preselected charitable organisations, so a cold proposal is unlikely to succeed; look first for a route by introduction.
• No geographic focus is stated, though its grants have mainly gone to organisations in New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota and Connecticut, so an organisation elsewhere should not assume it is excluded.
• About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $10,000 and $250,000, with a median of $35,000 and a largest grant of $400,000, so a modest request in that typical range fits its pattern.
• Around 60% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in earlier years, so existing relationships appear to matter a great deal, and organisations with no prior link should expect the route in to be hard.
