Town Branch Foundation

• The foundation makes grants only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold approach is unlikely to be considered, and the filing gives no further application steps.
• Its recorded grants cover education and school improvement and trail work, among other purposes, so a charity whose work sits in those areas is the closest match to what the filings show.
• Typical grants fall between $7,500 and $1,950,000, with a median of about $160,000, so a request sized near that median is a sensible starting point, though the largest grant was about $7,750,000.
• Around 70% of grant dollars to organisations in its most recent filing went to organisations it had funded in earlier filings, so a first-time applicant is competing with established relationships, and no timing for requests is given.
• The filing states no geographic focus, although most recorded grant dollars went to Arkansas, then Oklahoma.
