Good Planet Foundation

• The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so do not send it a cold application; approach it only through an invitation or introduction.
• Its stated interests are education, scientific research and health care, so a request is most likely to fit if your work clearly falls within one of those areas.
• About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $10,000 and $100,000, and half are $20,000 or less, so a modest request is the realistic size, although its largest grant was $1,800,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
• It gave 84% of its grant dollars to organisations it had funded in an earlier filing, so existing relationships matter more than a first approach.
• The filing states no geographic focus, so your location alone does not rule you out, though its grants are mainly in California and New York.
