A J Frank Family Foundation

• If your organisation is in Oregon and works on medical research or support, tuition assistance, Catholic faith-based work, meeting human needs or improving health, the foundation's stated priority fits your work.
• Individuals are not funded, so a request must come from an organisation.
• Half of its grants to organisations were $2,000 or less and the median grant was $2,000, so a modest request fits; about 8 in 10 grants fall between $225 and $10,500, which is typical rather than a ceiling, as its largest grant was $67,500.
• Send a letter describing the organisation, its purpose and project budget, with proof of tax exemption, by one of its funding-cycle deadlines of 15 August or 15 December.
• The filing shows strong repeat giving, with 92% of grant dollars to organisations going to groups it had funded in earlier filings, so a relationship with the foundation may matter as much as the request itself.
