Frank M Halley Charitable Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation without an invitation should not send a cold application; the realistic route is a personal or professional connection that leads to being invited to approach it.
- Its recorded grants go mainly to churches and ministries, health-related organisations, universities, youth-serving organisations and other community organisations, and the filing shows most of its giving in Oklahoma and Texas, with some in Missouri.
- That describes where its grants have gone, not a rule on who may apply, and the filing does not state a geographic focus.
- Most grants fall between $10,000 and $200,000 and half of its grants were $25,000 or less, so a modest request is the closest fit to its usual giving, although its largest grant was $325,000, so the band is not a ceiling.
- In its latest filing, 42% of grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing, so it appears to rely on established relationships with its grantees.
