The Kendall Foundation normally makes grants only to those non-profit organizations which are classified as public charities under Section 501 (c) (3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code or are Canadian organizations deemed equivalent by the Foundation.
In addition, the Trustees have adopted a policy of reviewing only invited proposals; unsolicited proposals for funding are not reviewed. Many years of experience taught us that reviewing all proposals served the Foundation and especially grant applicants poorly. From an average of 500 annual proposals we were funding less than 10 percent, thereby disappointing the vast majority of applicants whose valuable time is too often wasted.
