Bin Lin and Daisy Liu Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing records $775,000 paid in the latest year, but it lists only three general-support grants, to a university, an independent school and a museum devoted to computing history, so the record gives little guide to a typical request size.
- The foundation makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send an unsolicited application.
- Its approach is selective, so a brief, polite enquiry about whether an introduction is possible is a more sensible first step than a full proposal.
- No geographic focus is stated, and the filing gives no subject priorities, selection criteria, grant range or application dates, so location is not a declared rule and timing cannot be planned from the filing.

What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The filing records three grants, each described as general support, to a university, an independent school and a museum devoted to computing history. It does not state a broader subject focus, geographic eligibility or selection criteria, so these recipient types describe the giving record rather than a declared programme of priorities.

No further application instructions or recurring dates are given in the filing. Its approach is selective, rather than a publicly open application process.
