The Information Research Foundation concentrates its giving almost exclusively on research-oriented work, with a strong local connection to Dartmouth, MA and significant support for biomedical research. Grants are directed to a small set of repeat recipients and to projects that bridge education and medical research rather than broad community services. The foundation appears to prioritize targeted, programmatic research funding over general operating support or a wide geographic reach.
Concentrated giving: a small number of mid-sized grants to a few repeat grantees (multiple grants to the same organizations), focused on research rather than a broad portfolio of causes.
