Grants
When we make grants, we look for fresh thinking and for innovative people and organizations. We set benchmarks to measure success and monitor progress to ensure that goals are being met.
Organizations seeking grants
Our grant making focuses on reducing poverty and injustice; promoting democratic values; and advancing human knowledge, creativity and achievement. If your project reflects these priorities, you may submit a grant inquiry using our online form.
