"Often funds new organizations" means at least a third of the grantees in its latest filing had not received a grant from it the year before. Everything here comes from the foundations' IRS Form 990-PF filings; confirm details with the foundation before you apply. Foundations whose grants all go to individuals, drug company patient assistance programs and filings that report their grants as one total are left out.
