foundation grants
Charitable organization funding
Foundation grants are funds awarded by charitable foundations to individuals, organizations, or institutions for specific purposes—typically research, education, arts, or social causes.
Unlike loans, grants don't require repayment.
Nonprofits often depend on foundation grants for operating costs or special projects: We submitted three foundation grant applications this quarter.
The application process typically requires detailed proposals outlining intended use of funds.
