Key takeaways

  • Sipprelle Charitable Corporation funds non-profits nationwide in educational opportunity, health and wellness, economic development and environmental preservation, with a renewed focus on underserved rural communities, so a small charity working in one of those fields, particularly in rural areas, is worth approaching.
  • About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $1,400 and $50,000, with a median of $10,000 and half of its grants at $10,000 or less, so a request near that median is a realistic size, although its largest grant has been $75,000.
  • Its stated route is a letter of inquiry, which it accepts on a rolling basis, and it wants partners that are transparent with donors and measure progress against concrete objectives, so the letter should set out those objectives and how progress will be shown.
  • In the filing, 31% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded before, so repeat support is a meaningful part of its giving, but it hopes first grantees will become long-term partners, so a first approach remains worthwhile.
