The Mazursky Family Foundation

• The foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small nonprofit should not send it a proposal unless it has been invited.
• Its typical grant band runs from $1,000 to $20,000, with about 8 in 10 of its grants in that range and a median grant of $3,900, so a modest request sits comfortably within what it usually gives.
• Its funding covers a broad mix of charitable fields, including schools, arts, environmental, health, children and family, and homelessness work, and the filing shows grants mainly in California, Idaho, Ohio, Colorado and Utah, although no geographic focus is stated and that pattern should not be read as a rule on who may apply.
• Repeat funding is a notable feature: 45% of its grant dollars in its latest filing went to organisations it had also funded in the previous filing, so the foundation's relationships with existing grantees carry real weight.
• The filing gives no timing for requests, so a grant writer should not assume any particular window.
