Collin and Joanna Roche Family 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 Collin and Joanna Roche Family Foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and makes its grants by invitation only, so a cold written application is unlikely to be considered.
- Its recorded grants have gone to a cancer treatment and research institution, supporting a cancer-centre fundraising initiative, and to a school, supporting an annual fund, so a warm introduction is most worth pursuing if your work is close to those areas.
- The filing gives no grant range and no stated geographic focus, although its grants appear mainly in Maryland and New York, so avoid sizing a request on those points alone.
- Organisations with no existing link to the foundation should not expect to be considered and may be better spending their time on funders that take applications.
