The Tudor Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation accepts no unsolicited requests and limits its giving to organisations it has preselected, so a cold approach is unlikely to be considered.
- Its grants are mainly for education and humanitarian services, and 93% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so the pattern is one of repeat support.
- Half of its grants are about $11,000 or less and about 8 in 10 fall between $1,000 and $130,000, so a modest request suits its typical giving, though its largest grant was about $715,000.
- The filing shows its grants mainly in Washington and Kansas, but no geographic focus is stated, so that is a note of where it has given rather than a rule about who may apply.
