You can apply for competitive grants and scholarships through our online system, which is also used to track your applications and gather follow-up material from grantees.
Nonprofits can receive grants in two ways from the Foundation.
- The Foundation oversees competitive grants programs. These programs are created by supporting organizations, which are essentially nonprofits aligned with us. A board from each of the supporting organizations reviews applications and awards grants.
- Our donors and their advisors recommend grants to nonprofits from their charitable funds, but individual organizations cannot apply for these grants.
