Hadley & Marion Stuart Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- This foundation funds general charitable purposes rather than a defined field, with recorded recipients spanning higher education, a college and a preparatory school, animal research, welfare, rescue and assistance organisations, a youth ranch and a therapy centre, a children's speech and reading centre, and a theatre company, so fit depends on matching one of these areas rather than a stated programme focus.
- It contributes only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a grant writer at a small nonprofit without an existing connection should not approach it cold.
- Giving is heavily relationship-led: all of its grant dollars to organisations in its most recent filing went to organisations it had also funded the year before, so this looks like a foundation that sustains existing relationships rather than seeking new ones.
- For sizing a potential request, about 8 in 10 of its 42 grants fell between $15,000 and $1,000,000, with the median grant at $75,000 and half of its 42 grants at $75,000 or less, though the largest recorded grant was $1,750,000.
- No geographic focus is stated, though its grants are seen mainly in Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut and New Jersey, with Colorado accounting for the largest recorded share.
