The MD Charitable Foundation
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 and that its contributions go only to preselected charitable organisations, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; approach it only if you already have a connection to it.
- Its total giving was $12,206 in its latest filing, down from $800,000 and $777,795 in earlier years, so any request should be modest and realistic against that total.
- In its latest filing, 100% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, which points to a strong preference for existing recipients.
- The filing shows grants mainly in Missouri and New York, but no geographic focus is stated, so this reflects past giving rather than a rule about who may apply.
- Organisations that would send an unsolicited request should not expect this foundation to take it up.
Overview
The MD Charitable Foundation is a US private foundation based in Chesterfield, MO.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The foundation's available filings describe its giving through organisational operating support rather than a named subject area. The recipients include a community foundation and a college-mentoring organisation, as well as a charitable fund through which two contributions were made. The filings identify no stated charitable field, beneficiary group, applicant eligibility criteria or geographic preference. They say contributions are made only to preselected charitable organisations and unsolicited requests are not accepted, but do not explain how recipients are selected or what other characteristics the foundation seeks. The recorded grants show the types of recipient and purpose supported, but do not establish a broader programme focus.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Missouri and New York.
