How to apply to The Wingate-Lindsey Charitable Trust
- Accepts unsolicited proposals
- Yes
- How to Apply
-
The 2025 filing states that the Trust accepts unsolicited requests and does not use a specific application form. The trustee requires a copy of each proposed grantee charity’s IRS determination letter. For grants designated for specific purposes rather than the grantee’s general exempt purpose, the trustee sets out the restrictions in a standard grant letter. The Trust states that it makes grants to qualified public charities and that grants further its exempt purpose because grantees use the funds for their exempt purposes. **Deadline:** None.
