Few Acres Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and works only with preselected charitable organisations, so a small charity should not send it an application unless it has first been invited.
- Where a relationship exists, its grants are mainly general operating support to faith communities and ministries, educational institutions, healthcare charities and community arts organisations, and most of its giving has gone to Virginia, though no geographic focus is stated.
- Most of its grants fall between $2,500 and $100,000, about 8 in 10 of the 33 grants across its three filings, with a median of $7,500, so a modest request sits near the middle of its usual giving; its largest grant was $150,000.
- Over half of its grant dollars in its latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in one of the two earlier filings, so an established connection matters more than a cold approach.
