Hillview Charitable 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, so a cold application is not the route here; a small nonprofit should first look for a way to be invited.
- Most of its grants to organisations are modest: about 8 in 10 of its 28 fall between $1,000 and $5,000, with a median of $2,000, so a request in that region fits its typical pattern.
- That band is typical rather than a ceiling, since its largest grant was $20,000.
- The filing shows that 63% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so an existing relationship is likely to matter.
- No geographic focus is stated; the grants mainly in California, Colorado and New York describe past giving only, not who may apply.
