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

Los Angeles arts institutions: performing arts, opera, museums, film
Wildlife conservation, animal welfare, and wildlife crossing infrastructure
Journalism, press freedom, and media accountability organizations
Health research at LA medical centers: women's cancer, neurology, longevity
Community organizations and general operating support across Los Angeles County
University programs, scholarships, and named centers (USC, UCLA, Duke)

Typical grant

Median grant is $25,000, with the middle half falling between roughly $10,600 and $52,300. The seven-figure checks go to affiliated entities and named institutions (the Wallis Annenberg Legacy Foundation, the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, the Philadelphia Orchestra) or to signature initiatives like the National Wildlife Federation wildlife crossing. With 1,630 grants to 897 recipients over three years, most grantees receive support more than once, so repeat giving is the norm.

Their words

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

“GENERAL OPERATING SUPPORT”
“CHARITABLE MISSION AND PROGRAMS”
“WILDLIFE CROSSING”
“GROW @”
“CAPITAL CAMPAIGN”

Positioning adjacent work

Tie wildlife or habitat work explicitly to the wildlife crossing theme they fund at NWF and SEE.
Health research proposals land best when housed at Cedars-Sinai, UCLA, USC, or Stanford.
Ask in the $25,000 to $100,000 band unless you carry an existing institutional relationship.
Frame arts requests around Los Angeles audiences, youth education, or a named season or exhibition.

Worth knowing: Two thirds of grants go to California recipients and most of those to Los Angeles, with New York a distant second. A large share of the dollars flows to Annenberg-named or Annenberg-affiliated entities and long-standing institutional relationships, so cold approaches from outside Southern California face steep odds.

Top recipients

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