Kenneth A Hall and Patricia A Hall Charitable Foundation

• The filing says the foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a charity should not send a cold application.
• Its grants are mainly to Virginia organisations, with a small amount to Washington, DC, and no geographic focus is stated, so a group elsewhere should not assume it is ruled out.
• Most of its grants fall between $10,000 and $150,000, with a median of $30,000, so a request near that middle amount is a sensible starting point, though its largest grant was $820,000.
• Repeat funding dominates, with 89% of its grant dollars going to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so this is a relationship-led foundation where newcomers face a narrow route.
• Its recipients span many fields and the filing states no programme priorities, so the case should rest on the organisation's own mission.
