Brumfield Genrev Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation makes grants only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold proposal is unlikely to get a hearing.
- Your first step should be a way in through an existing connection or an invitation, not a written application.
- Its grants are for general purposes and have gone to schools, colleges and universities, churches, youth organisations, health charities and cultural organisations, so a charity in one of those fields may fit.
- The filing states no geographic focus, though grants are mainly in Georgia and Mississippi, and most of its grant dollars go to organisations it has funded before, so the foundation looks relationship-led.
- Typically about 8 in 10 grants fall between $3,000 and $100,000, and half of its grants to organisations were $10,000 or less, so a modest request is the realistic size.
Overview
Brumfield Genrev Foundation is a US private foundation based in Chicago, IL.
What they fund

Priority Areas
The filing records grants for general purposes. Recipients include schools, colleges and universities, churches, youth organisations, health charities and cultural organisations, alongside other charitable organisations; the grant record also includes a donor-advised fund. In the grant record, these types correspond to education, religious organisations, youth work, healthcare and culture, alongside broader charitable giving. The grants are not described as supporting distinct projects: their stated purpose is general purposes. The application information says contributions are made only to preselected charitable organisations and unsolicited requests are not accepted. It gives no further description of fields or eligibility.
Geographic Focus
