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

Universities, medical schools and affiliated foundations receiving unrestricted gifts
Religious institutions: Catholic dioceses and schools, LDS, synagogues, Hindu and Buddhist centers
Digital library and archive preservation entities based in Biddeford, Maine
Hospitals, disease research and academic medical centers
Environment and conservation: EDF, Nature Conservancy, Conservation International
Food banks, shelters and global development groups like Water.org, One Acre Fund

Typical grant

Median grant is $10,000, with the middle half between $5,000 and $30,000, spread across 29,046 recipients. The nine-figure tail is real but rare: a handful of gifts run $2M to $40M, and those go to large universities, medical centers, archive foundations and religious bodies where a single donor-advisor has concentrated wealth. Repeat giving is common at the institution level because thousands of separate account holders give to the same well-known charities year after year, not because the trust renews anything.

Their words

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

“UNRESTRICTED GENERAL SUPPORT”
“Foundation”
“University”
“Fund”

Positioning adjacent work

Do not pitch the trust. It is a donor-advised fund sponsor; the decision sits with individual Morgan Stanley clients.
Route asks through your advancement office to wealth advisors and known donors who hold DAF accounts.
Structure the ask so the gift can be received as unrestricted general support to your institution, not a restricted project.
Assume $5,000 to $30,000 per donor, and build the seven-figure case only for an identified individual relationship.

Worth knowing: Every one of the 49,252 grants is coded identically as unrestricted general support, which means the purpose field tells you nothing about intent and the apparent priorities are just the aggregate taste of thousands of account holders. Giving concentrates in California and New York, tracks elite universities, Catholic institutions and brand-name nonprofits, and the largest 2024 checks cluster in a few archive foundations in Biddeford, Maine, which is one donor's decision rather than a funding theme.

Top recipients

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