The Ihle Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation accepts no unsolicited requests and gives only to organisations it has preselected, so a small charity should not send it a cold application.
- Its recorded organisational grants were general, unrestricted support to a charitable foundation and a school district, and the filing describes no wider funding focus to match a project against.
- Its total giving in the latest filing was $2,000,000, against a typical year of about $300,000, and its filing states no grant range, so there is no published basis for sizing a request.
- None of its grant dollars in the latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in the earlier filing, so a past grant offers little assurance of renewal.
