Anderson Stewart Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Anderson Stewart Family Foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a small charity should not send it a cold application.
- Its grant record is led by college education and paediatric health care, so a request outside those areas may fit less well, though the record also shows support for cancer treatment, homelessness services and other community needs.
- Where a request is invited, a modest amount sits well with the record: half of its 124 grants to organisations were $100,000 or less across the filings, and about 8 in 10 grants fall between $20,000 and $400,000, a typical band rather than a limit, since the largest grant was about $30,500,000.
- In its latest filing, 92% of grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so a new applicant should expect a relationship-led route.
- No geographic focus is stated, so location should not be treated as a rule, although the filings show grants mainly in California.
