Grant Guidelines

Broad Reach Foundation has multiple program areas designed to advance our mission to promote healthy ecosystems, coexistence, community resilience and human well-being. Please see the Program pages for more specific descriptions of our program priorities and restrictions, including geographic focus. Most grant applications are by invitation only through our online grant application portal.

We provide the following types of grants:

  • General operating support
  • Project support
  • Program support

Most grants are awarded for a 12-month period. We also provide multi-year support. However, multi-year awards are typically reserved for organizations that the Foundation has funded previously rather than new applicants.

Our funding is focused on 501c3 public charities, fiscally sponsored projects of 501c3 public charities, public entities or municipalities, tribal entities or charitable foreign organizations (through expenditure responsibility grants or grants to organizations with equivalency determination).

We pay grants directly and also recommend grants to be paid through donor advised funds.
