Grant Guidelines & Deadlines

The foundation makes grants to US based qualified charitable organizations. To date we have funded organizations that address the following areas of interest:

Science/Healthcare

  • US headquartered organizations operating programs in the US or elsewhere in the world.

 

Education

  • Disaster relief (US headquartered organizations responding to disasters in the US or elsewhere in the world on an occasional basis).
  • Religious Organizations and others (US headquartered organizations operating programs in the US or elsewhere in the world).
  • Nonprofit organizations that qualify for public charity status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or public schools and libraries are eligible for contributions or grants.
  • Our foundation is based in Rockville, MD but has no geographical restrictions.
  • Our foundation has one cycle: June. A completed application must be submitted online, using the Grant Application, by April 30.

Grant Amount & Types

Grants typically range between $5,000 – $10,000. In some limited cases we may make larger grants, but that is typically after we have gotten to know your organization over a period of time. We also generally don’t make multi-year grants, although we may fund the same organization on a year by year basis over a period of years.

General operating or program/project grant requests within our areas of interests are accepted.
