Note: We have temporarily paused most of our grantmaking through mid-2024. Read our announcement for specifics.

Our grants come in all sizes, from cross country skis for kids, to equipment for village search and rescue missions, to large capital projects for new clinics, libraries and community centers with long-term benefits. We offer four main grant types. In addition, we help with financing projects through Program-Related Investments, and we provide support for comprehensive solutions through our initiatives. We also fund grants through partners. To learn more about our grants, visit the links below.
