The Galena Foundation

• The Galena Foundation is based in Denver, Colorado, and states no geographic focus, though its grants in the filings are concentrated in Colorado with a small number going to organisations in other states.
• Its funding is chiefly for program development, with a smaller share for educational purposes, and its recipients include schools and educational institutions, youth organisations, health and human-service organisations, churches and community charities.
• A typical grant falls between $10,000 and $1,000,000, covering about 8 in 10 of its 68 grants, with a median grant of $50,000, so pitching a request around that level is a sensible starting point.
• The IRS filing gives no deadlines, and the approach is to submit a specific request; a large share of its giving, 82% of grant dollars, goes to organisations it has funded before, which suggests a relationship-led pattern of support worth bearing in mind when approaching it fresh.
