The Amin Family 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 by invitation only, so a cold application is not the route in.
- Its filing states no funding field, beneficiary group or geographic focus, and its named recipients are charitable giving funds rather than direct service organisations, so it is hard to judge from the filing whether your work fits.
- Its annual giving has risen in each year recorded, reaching $783,919 in its most recent filing, but no grant range is stated, so a request should be sized modestly rather than to that total.
- None of its grant dollars in the latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in the two filings before it, so the filing shows no pattern of repeat giving to the same groups.
- The best first step is to look for an introduction through someone who knows the foundation, since the filing does not describe how organisations are selected or when it makes grants.
Overview
The Amin Family Foundation is a US private foundation based in San Francisco, CA.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, 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
The available filing record shows unrestricted charitable giving routed through donor-advised funds and charitable grantmaking intermediaries. It does not identify a substantive funding field, a beneficiary group, an eligible applicant profile or a geographic preference. Grants are recorded as organisation grants, and the named recipients are charitable giving funds rather than direct service organisations. Its recorded giving is therefore described by the form and recipient type of the grants, not by a stated subject-area priority. The application information indicates that contributions are limited to preselected charitable organisations. The filings do not describe how organisations are selected or what kinds of work they undertake.
