Ansin Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing says the foundation works by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send a cold application and should look first for an existing link or introduction.
- Where it has invited a request, a modest ask fits its pattern: about 8 in 10 of its 141 grants to organisations fall between $5,000 and $300,000, and half were $25,000 or less, so a request near its $25,000 median is well placed, though its largest grant was about $1,100,000.
- Nearly all of its grant dollars to organisations (97%) went to organisations it had funded in earlier filings, so the route in depends heavily on relationships already built.
- No geographic focus is stated; most recorded grant dollars went to Florida, with Massachusetts and Rhode Island also appearing, but that describes past giving rather than a rule on who may apply.
- The filing gives no application steps or deadlines, so timing should follow whatever introduction the organisation can secure.
