It's worthwhile to make an initial call to ascertain interest.

If you want this funder's one-page application form, I think if you call its phone number or leave a voice mail with your organization's name and address, it will mail you its paper application. Everything is done by phone or on paper with this funder. The only component that is online is its 990 forms.

This is a small foundation with a part-time administrative position.
Good
Excellent.
This funder is small and difficult to reach. If you study its 990 forms, you can see the types, amounts, and geographic focus of its funding. If you apply within those parameters, you have a good chance of receiving funding. Ask for what you need. If it can't fund your full amount, it often gives less than you ask, without judgement.
This is my favorite funder due to the ease of the application and report.
This funder extends an unprecedented level of trust in its grant recipients. Its application and report are both one page long. It doesn't make you do backflips to receive and report grant funds. If all funders had this level of trust, the world would be a better place.

It's hard to connect with them to even get application information and details. Be prepared to be persistent.

If you want people to call, please be sure to check voicemail messages and respond to them. If you'd prefer to be contacted by email, it would be good for that to be clear up front.

They don't have any information online currently, but they were very responsive when I sent them a letter in the mail. They were also willing to respond via a phone call, but they aren't always available. Snail mail is the best way.

They don't have a website, but otherwise communicate well. They answered all my inquiries to them.

I'm not sure what their goals our, because there in no website. But they were glad to fund my project. They love pictures to share with their staff.
Put up a website so you can share about some of the great things you are doing!

Very easy application. Best ever! I just wrote a one page letter and got funded, after following up with proof of tax exemption.
