Nora Tertzag Hampar Charitable Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The trust makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation it does not already know should not send a request.
- If your work is Armenian-focused in education, youth camps, healthcare, social support, culture, technology, media or church activity, the realistic route is a relationship, since 91% of its grant dollars to organisations in its most recent filing went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings.
- Keep any request modest: half its grants to organisations were $25,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $20,000 and $65,000, a typical band rather than a ceiling, as its largest grant was about $125,000.
- No geographic focus is stated, and the grants on record are mainly in California, Colorado, New Jersey, New York and Armenia, which describes past giving rather than who may apply.
- The filing gives no submission timetable.
