The TND Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and gives by invitation only, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; your best route is an introduction through someone it already knows.
- Its grant record is led by health and human services, so a request should sit clearly within that area.
- If you can get an introduction, a request of about $10,000 to $100,000 fits its typical grant: about 8 in 10 of its 61 organisational grants fell in that band, with a median of $40,000.
- Its largest grant was about $275,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- The filing states no geographic focus and gives no timing or deadlines, so your location alone should not decide the matter and there is no set window to plan around.
