The Khodorkovsky Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The Khodorkovsky Foundation funds education, civil society organisations, academic institutions and educational documentaries, with Russia stated as its priority geographic focus, so fit depends on work in these themes there.
- It paid $15,182,075 in grants and had committed $16,378,806 overall, but no grant range is stated, so there is no basis here for judging a realistic size of request.
- The foundation operates by invitation only, does not accept unsolicited requests, and says only preselected charitable organisations receive contributions, so this is a relationship-led funder rather than one that runs an open application process.
- Organisations without an existing connection or invitation should not send a speculative application, as the foundation states it will not accept one.
- No further application steps or timing are given, so grant writers cannot plan around any particular cycle or deadline.
