Summary
This grant opportunity supports research and educational projects across the U.S., with a focus on social progress, open inquiry, and innovation. Eligible applicants are typically nonprofit organizations, universities, and other tax-exempt public charities — institutions that conduct scholarly or educational work. While the grant program is primarily geared toward nonprofits and academic institutions, some calls may accept proposals from individual researchers when submitted under an eligible institution’s umbrella.
The purpose of the funds is to enable original research, thoughtful analysis, or new educational programming that addresses pressing societal challenges. Projects might explore topics such as criminal justice reform, economic opportunity, workforce development, free expression, public policy, or other social-impact themes. Proposals that reimagine educational models or introduce novel curricula, foster open debate, or explore systemic issues with academic rigor are welcomed. The grant is not intended for routine operating costs or political lobbying — rather, for carefully designed research, program development, or scholarly contributions.
Funding levels are not predetermined; instead, grant amounts are calibrated to fit the scope and aims of the project as outlined in a detailed budget. Multi-year work is possible when the proposal justifies a sustained effort. Because applications are accepted on a rolling basis, there is flexibility — there is no single deadline each year, and proposals may be submitted whenever the applicant is ready.
For organizations prepared to advance meaningful, evidence-based research or innovative educational efforts, this opportunity offers flexible support, institutional independence, and a chance to contribute to long-term societal improvements. The foundation behind the grant values independent scholarship and supports partners that foster intellectual freedom and impactful inquiry.
