Donald Goodman Family Foundation

• The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered.
• Its recorded grants went to food assistance, children's orthopaedic care, university-related organisations, cancer charities and a scholarship organisation, so a group working in one of those areas may be better served by seeking an introduction first.
• In the filing, the median grant was $25,000 and half of its 8 grants to organisations were $25,000 or less, so a modest request is closer to what it has recorded.
• The filing states no geographic focus, although its grants were mainly in California, so a group elsewhere should not assume it is excluded, nor that it fits.
• Organisations that would send an unsolicited request should not expect a reply.
