Bingle 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 makes its grants only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold approach is unlikely to get a hearing; the only route its filings show is an invitation.
- No geographic focus is stated, though its grants are shown mainly in the United States, Colorado and New York, and its filings describe its grants as for general charitable purposes.
- Typical grants fall between $100,000 and $860,000, and half of its six grants to organisations were $250,000 or less, so a request sized around $250,000 sits near the middle of its usual giving.
- An organisation without an existing introduction should not spend time preparing a proposal, because the filing gives no other application steps.
