Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Higher education: university endowments, foundations, and campus facilities
Faith-based giving: churches, ministries, Catholic and LDS institutions
K-12 private, classical, and charter school support
Human services: child advocacy centers, homelessness, disaster relief
Health systems, hospital foundations, and medical research centers
Transfers to other donor-advised fund sponsors

Typical grant

Median grant is $15,000 with the middle half between $10,000 and $39,000, so the ordinary check is small. The seven-figure grants go to named universities, DAF-to-DAF transfers, and single large capital or facilities projects that reflect one donor's decision rather than a foundation strategy. With 3,282 grants to 3,281 recipients in a single year, almost nothing repeats within the file, though individual donor advisors often give to the same organizations annually.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“Education”
“Human Services”
“Religion-Related”
“Public, Societal Benefit”
“Health, Medicine & Science”

Positioning adjacent work

Treat this as a DAF sponsor: cultivate the individual donor advisor, not Greater Horizons staff.
Anchor asks at $10,000 to $40,000 unless a specific donor is funding a capital project.
Education is the dominant category; frame research as student access, scholarship, or campus facilities.
Identify existing donors with fund accounts here who already give to peer institutions in your state.

Worth knowing: Greater Horizons is a community foundation and donor-advised fund sponsor, so the giving pattern reflects thousands of separate donor decisions rather than a board's priorities. California draws 587 grants and Texas 261, well ahead of home-state Missouri at 215, and several of the largest grants are simply transfers to other DAF sponsors like DAFgiving360 and Fidelity Charitable.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
