Park L Loughlin Charitable Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and gives only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; a small charity should look for a route to an introduction before sending anything.
- If your work sits in one of its areas, such as education, animal welfare, wildlife and conservation, or community and cultural life, it is worth making contact through a known route and asking about its process.
- A request around $50,000 sits at the middle of its record, with about 8 in 10 grants between $20,000 and $200,000; that band is typical rather than a ceiling, as its largest grant was $300,000.
- The filing shows 67% of grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing, so existing relationships appear to matter a great deal, and the foundation seems relationship-led.
- Its filings show grants mainly in California, Florida, Nevada and Virginia, but no geographic focus is stated, so raise your location with it rather than assuming it limits eligibility.
Overview
Park L Loughlin Charitable Foundation is a US private foundation based in Olympic Valley, CA.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
Across its recorded grants, the foundation supports organisations working in outdoor challenge and recreation, education, animal welfare, wildlife and conservation, and community and cultural life. Its recipients include education charities, animal shelters and assistance-dog organisations, horse sanctuaries, wildlife groups, museums and community foundations. Other grants have supported humanitarian relief and evacuation, medical-fund purposes, memorials, and local recreation facilities. Most listed grants are for general support, alongside a smaller number of restricted projects. The grant record therefore shows giving across several charitable fields rather than a single dominant purpose.
