GGS Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests, so the route in is by invitation only, and a cold proposal is not the way to approach it.
- Its giving is mostly general support to a varied group of charities, with health, education, food and housing, family and disability support, arts and culture, and humanitarian and veterans' work among past recipients, and no single field is stated.
- Typical grants fall between $10,000 and $50,000, and the median is $25,000, so a request near that size fits best, though its largest grant was $1,000,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- About 41% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had already funded, so returning grantees make up a large part of its giving.
- No geographic focus is stated; its grants are mainly in California and New York, but that is a pattern in past grants and not a rule about who may apply.
