Stevens Haven Charitable Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Stevens Haven Charitable Foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should approach it only through an invitation and should not send a cold application.
- Typical grants fall between $5,000 and $25,000, with a median of about $16,500, though this band is not a ceiling, so a modest request in that range fits what the foundation usually gives.
- The filing states no geographic focus, although grants are mainly in Arizona, so an organisation should treat that as an observation and not a rule about who may apply.
- Repeat support is a strong pattern, since 90% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups the foundation had also funded in an earlier filing, which suggests that relationships matter more than an open process.

Stevens Haven Charitable Foundation is a US private foundation based in Casa Grande, AZ.
What they fund

Priority Areas
The filings record grants to Arizona charitable organisations across several recipient types. Recipient names include an anti-trafficking network, a public-safety foundation, a veterans’ memorial foundation, churches, a humane society, an animal rescue, a youth organisation and a community-action agency. Other recipients’ names do not state their specific work. Grants are concentrated in Arizona, which accounts for 91% of recorded grant dollars, while the filings also list organisations in Oregon and Texas.
