Evans Family Charitable Foundation

• Evans Family Charitable Foundation is a San Diego-based private foundation that funds children's education, with reading, STEM, arts and business as its stated themes.
• Other published sources report its priority areas as Iowa, Illinois, Colorado and California, so work outside those areas may be a weaker fit.
• The foundation contributes only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so the realistic route in is a relationship or an invitation, not a cold application.
• If you are invited, a request in the range of $10,000 to $60,000 matches what it typically gives: about 8 in 10 of its 52 grants to organisations fall in that band, the median is $25,000, and its largest was $80,000.
• Most of its grant dollars, 90%, went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so a first grant from this foundation is likely to depend on an existing connection.
