Jeff T Green 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 works by invitation only, so a cold application is unlikely to get a hearing; any approach should go through a connection that could lead to an invitation.
- Scholarships are the clearest theme in its grants, so work in that area, or in peer-to-peer support, is the best fit to point to.
- Most of its grants are modest: half of its 31 grants to organisations were $100,000 or less and the median grant was $100,000, so any eventual request should be sized around that, though about 8 in 10 grants fall between $10,000 and $610,000 (a typical band, not a ceiling) and the largest was about $2,250,000.
- In its most recent filing, 65% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, which suggests that existing relationships count for a great deal.
- No geographic focus is stated, so location is not a stated condition, although the filing shows grants mainly in California, Texas, Utah, New York and Illinois.
