Welcome! We know you most likely represent an organization seeking to do good in the lives of people in need; therefore, we offer our heartfelt appreciation for the generosity of time and treasure that you expend on behalf of others. We are always amazed and humbled by the good you and others do.
We welcome hearing from you! However, in order to get the most from your time, we recommend you read the following answers to frequently asked questions. Since we are a very small foundation, we do not have the capacity to answer the numerous inquiries in these areas. However, a trustee will personally answer all email communications regarding appropriate topics NOT listed below:
The Swett Foundation is not currently accepting any grant requests. Any potential changes to this policy will be announced only through this web site. [This policy will be reviewed again in May 2023].
We are such a small foundation that, regretfully, we do not have connections nor resources to share with you regarding alternate sources of funding.
We request that you do not add the email address below to your email subscriber list. We regret that we must always unsubscribe. Please do not take this personally. We are sincerely interested in the amazing work you all are doing, but these unsolicited email subscriptions inundate our emails! Past experience has shown us that this can add up to hundreds to thousands every week - far too many for us to read and they make it difficult to find the actual email communications needing a response. Thank you!
For those of you offering your services to the Swett Foundation, please know that we are such a small foundation that we prefer to do all the work ourselves, thereby minimizing our administrative costs and maximizing the amount we can give to those in need. For those tasks we cannot perform, we are very satisfied with our current arrangements and, therefore, for the sake of your time and ours, we will not respond to such offers.
If you arrived at this webpage in search of funding on behalf of yourself or an individual in need, we regret that our bylaws make it impossible for us to make grants to individuals. We are absolutely bound by these bylaws and this cannot change. Instead, our mission is accomplished by supporting organizations which, in turn, support people in need. We sincerely hope you will find the help you need through one of those organizations.
If you need to contact the Ralph and Eileen Swett Foundation concerning a matter other than those listed above, please email us at: robin@reswettfoundation.org. [Please do not add this email to your subscriber lists; see above].
