Hill Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The filing describes the foundation's eligible recipients as qualified organisations mainly for education and medical purposes, so work in those areas is the clear fit to test before writing.
- It paid out $3,704,250 in its latest filing, but the filing gives no grant range, so the right size of request is not established here, and a modest, carefully costed ask is the safer starting point.
- The filing asks for a letter and gives no deadlines, so there is no submission date to work towards, though it does not say how long a decision takes.
- The filing names no recipient organisations and no grant purposes, so it is not possible to tell how competitive or relationship-led the foundation is, and a cautious first approach is sensible.
- The filing states no exclusions, so no organisation is ruled out on that basis; an organisation whose work falls outside education and medical purposes is unlikely to match the stated themes.

Priority Areas
The foundation's filing describes its eligible recipients as qualified organisations mainly for education and medical purposes. It asks applicants to send a letter, and lists no submission deadline. That is the extent of the information about its grant priorities and application approach in the materials reviewed. The returns provide no named recipient organisations or grant-purpose descriptions, so they do not establish which kinds of educational or medical work it supports, whether it favours particular applicants, or the geographic reach of its grants. The available evidence therefore supports a broad eligibility description, but not a more specific account of its grantmaking.
