The Tracy H Dickinson Foundation
At a glance
This funder mainly gives to individuals. Around 57% of its grant-making in tax years 2022–2023 went to individuals rather than organisations, so it may not be a good fit for organisational applicants.
Key takeaways
- The grants recorded in the filing point to educational publishing and college learning activities, so a request should clearly connect to one of those areas.
- The foundation paid $8,000 in total in its filing, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one.
- The filing gives no deadlines, though it says the foundation accepts applications, so ask the foundation about timing before you write.
- None of its grant dollars in the filing went to organisations it had also funded in its earlier filing, so do not assume a past grant predicts another.
- The filing does not say how competitive the foundation is or whether relationships matter, and its grants have mainly gone to Virginia and Ohio, but no area is stated as a rule, so you should not assume a group elsewhere is excluded.
Overview
The Tracy H Dickinson Foundation is a US private foundation based in Delray Beach, FL.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (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 show support for educational publishing and college learning. One grant supported the second edition of a review of books, while another supported a college’s off-campus learning initiative. The recipients were an educational fund and a college. The grant record thus covers both publication and a college learning activity, with support described for a particular edition and for an off-campus initiative. Its recorded giving spans these education-related purposes and recipient types, without suggesting a broader focus beyond what the stated grant purposes and recipients show.
