East North Street Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing says the foundation gives only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; a warm introduction to someone who already knows the foundation is the sensible first step.
- Its stated aims of helping people in need in its community and spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, with grants for scholarships, foster care and health facilities, make an organisation whose work matches its themes of community assistance and Christian outreach the closest fit.
- Across its last three filings, half of its grants to organisations were $100,000 or less, and its typical band runs from $8,000 to $250,000, though its largest grant was about $3,200,000, so a modest, specific request is a reasonable size to plan around.
- Grants have mostly gone to Arkansas, although no geographic focus is stated, and only 12% of its grant dollars to organisations in its most recent filing went to groups it had also funded in its two earlier filings, so repeat funding is not the main pattern.
