Benificus Foundation grants guide

Everything below is history. Benificus Foundation reported these figures for fiscal year 2023, and a figure from a closed year is not a budget for an open one. What the funder is doing now is on its own pages; what it did is here, dated.

What it gave

• Total giving, fiscal year 2023: $220,068,974

That total is the whole of what this filing publishes about the giving: it states no grant count and no median. The gap is worth naming rather than filling. Foundation giving is heavily skewed — a handful of very large grants and a long tail of small ones — so a figure divided out of the total would describe a grant nobody received, and dividing is exactly what a reader should not do with the one number there is.

What it holds

• Total assets, fiscal year 2023: $12,065,869

Assets and giving are shown together and are not divided for you. A private foundation's payout requirement is calculated against investment assets, which makes the asset figure a rough floor under future giving — but the calculation counts qualifying distributions, not grants alone, so any ratio you compute from these two numbers is an estimate and we do not publish one as though it were a fact.

Identity, and what it is

• Type: foundation
• EIN: 770444504
• Geography: Not stated
• Filing behind these figures: irs990

The EIN is the join key to the public filings, which is what makes any of this checkable. Which filing a figure came from matters: a 990 and a 990-PF publish different things, and a number lifted from one is not comparable to the same-named number from the other.

What is open now

Nothing. We hold no open or forecasted opportunity published by this funder, and that is a statement about our coverage as much as about the funder: many grantmakers publish no open call at all, and a private foundation that gives every year while inviting nothing is a common and expensive thing to discover late.

The full profile, with the source link and the date we last confirmed it, is at Benificus Foundation.

What we cannot tell you

What this funder will give next year. We publish what a filing states, with its year, and no projection. A forecast built from assets would be our arithmetic standing among figures that came from filings, and a reader would have no way to tell the two apart.

Whether it accepts unsolicited applications. That is a policy stated in prose on the funder's own pages, if at all, and we do not convert prose into a flag that would be blank on most records and read as "yes".

Who it funded. Recipient histories are connected for a handful of funders and not for this corpus generally; where we hold them the pages say so. For federal award history, USAspending is free and authoritative, and Candid holds the most authoritative free layer on funder financials.
