Grants
Greenfield Foundation seeks to have a positive impact by providing general operating, project and program support and capacity funding at organizations where exceptional efforts accomplish one or more of the Foundation’s three goals.
Initiative Grants
The Greenfield Foundation first initiated this type of grant with the Goldsmith Awards Program, in partnership with the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, recognizing investigative journalism that fosters ethical and effective government in the U.S. In following years, this model was extended to several other programs: the Greenfield Prize, in partnership with The Hermitage Artist Retreat; Temple Emergency Action Corps (TEAC), in collaboration with Temple University; and the Greenfield Youth Film Festival (GYFF), in partnership with the Upper Dublin Education Foundation.
Opportunity Grants
One year Opportunity Grants typically range in size from $5,000 to $25,000. The Foundation accepts applications for one-year grants only, with the possibility of renewal grants for extended periods. Many of these grants support general operating needs.​​​​ We DO NOT fund individuals. We do not accept unsolicited proposals.
