Invitation only

Unsolicited applications are not accepted

This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.

Key takeaways

The foundation's community grants are by invitation only and it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered.
Its stated themes are the military community, education, animals and foster youth, and its priority geographic focus is the U.S. and San Diego County, so work in those themes and places is the best fit.
It does not fund organisations that discriminate on age, race, national origin, ethnicity, creed, gender, sexual orientation or disability, lobbying or political campaigns, personal loans, for-profit business needs, or building or capital campaigns, so those organisations should not approach it.
The filing shows $571,641 paid in the latest year but gives no grant range, so it does not tell you what size of request is realistic, and you should not assume one.
Because the foundation contacts organisations it is interested in, the route is relationship-led: keep your work visible within its themes and wait to be approached rather than sending a request.
