Key takeaways

  • If your work fits the foundation's four themes of animal protection, children's empowerment, environmental conservation, and homelessness and food insecurity, it is worth a look, since its stated priority is throughout the world.
  • Most of its grants are modest: about 8 in 10 of its 39 grants fall between $450 and $57,500, the median is $10,000, and half are $10,000 or less, so a request around that middle figure is a realistic size.
  • Repeat funding is rare, with only 1% of its grant dollars in its latest filing going to organisations it had also funded in the filing before, so a first approach is a sensible place to start.
  • Applications are rolling, so you can send a proposal at any time, using the Partner form linked from the Contact Us page on its website for RFPs or funding proposals.
  • Its website says it seeks global impact projects that rescue, heal and empower the most vulnerable lives, so frame your request around direct benefit to vulnerable people or animals.
