Apply for a Grant
Burton D. Morgan Foundation’s grantmaking is largely proactive. We typically work closely with our grantee partners for multiple years to achieve maximum impact. For these reasons, our capacity to approve new grant requests each year is limited. If you are interested in applying for a grant from Burton D. Morgan Foundation, please follow the steps below:
Ensure Eligibility & Mission Fit
Grants are made to organizations classified as public charities and tax exempt under 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. The Foundation does not provide grants to individuals or startup ventures. Please make sure your organization meets this criteria.
The staff and trustees of Burton D. Morgan Foundation developed a new strategic plan to guide our activities and grantmaking from 2024 - 2026. Please review the summary of this plan and the Priorities section of our website carefully to determine if your organization’s program advances the mission and strategic priorities that are outlined. Please note that entrepreneurship education for youth is now being funded through YIPPEE and we will not consider applications for youth entrepreneurship education projects.
Submit Interest Form via Online Portal
If you are a current grantee, please reach out to your assigned program officer to discuss any new grants or projects.
