Newell B Sargent Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The filing gives Washakie County and Wyoming as the foundation's stated priority, so a charity working in that area has the clearest fit, though the filing describes these as priorities rather than limits.
- Most recorded giving is general funding for charitable organisations' expenses, and the median grant was about $16,500, so a request near that figure is a sensible starting point, with typical grants reported between $1,000 and $600,000.
- The initial application should be a letter, and the filing gives no deadlines but says the foundation accepts applications.
- Because 99% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, a first letter should explain clearly how the work fits its stated priorities.
