What this tells you

27% state that they accept unsolicited applications, close to the 26% typical of this data.

The money is concentrated: the average grant across all 28,732 payments is far larger than the $10,000 the typical funder gives, which means a small number of very large grants dominate the total. Most organizations here are competing for the $2,425 to $25,000 band, not the headline figure.

How to read these numbers

The typical grant range is the middle half of what these funders give: a quarter give less than $2,425 on average and a quarter give more than $25,000. It is drawn from 192 funders who itemized their grants, so it describes what they actually paid rather than what they say they will consider.

Two limits worth knowing. IRS filings run 6 to 18 months behind the money, so the most recent year here is 2025 rather than today. And a foundation that accepts applications is not a foundation that wants yours: the filing says the door is open, not that your work fits. Check each funder's own guidelines before you write anything.

Which of them would fund your work?

That is the part this page cannot answer. Praenum reads your organization's mission and ranks the grantmakers whose own filings show they fund work like yours, then emails you a short list every Tuesday. It also reads your own IRS filing, so it knows which foundations have already funded you.
