Key takeaways

  • Jubilee Foundation's stated focus is neighbourhood development, and its recorded grants have gone to work on children, young people and families, church-led community engagement, rural livelihoods, food assistance and community leadership, so a project in one of those areas is worth testing against its focus.
  • It does not fund lobbying purposes or aid in the election of public officials, so an organisation whose work involves either should not apply.
  • About 8 in 10 of its 33 grants to organisations fall between $35,000 and $200,000, with a median of $80,000 and a largest of $600,000, so that band is typical rather than a ceiling, and a request near $80,000 sits in the middle of it; its total giving in the latest filing was $2,052, which may be worth weighing.
  • None of its grant dollars in the latest filing went to organisations it had funded in the earlier filings, its geographic focus is not stated, and its filings show grants mainly in Washington, Maryland, Pennsylvania, California, Massachusetts, Mexico, Uganda, India and Haiti.
  • Its filing records fixed deadlines of 1 February, 1 April, 1 August and 1 October each year, so send the information the foundation asks for plus whatever you judge pertinent, and note that the filing does not say how competitive or relationship-led it is.
