Grantmaking
Through our grantmaking, we equip individuals and institutions to create and strengthen contextualized approaches to character formation. We encourage grantees to take the lead in shaping approaches that best fit their unique institutional contexts and missions, while we provide support to deepen impact and expand capacity where needed. These grants were made possible through the generous support of Lilly Endowment Inc.
Our 2026 Request for Proposals is now available. We invite you to submit proposals for our 2026 grants, including Institutional Impact Grants from $100,000 to $1,000,000 and Capacity-Building Grants up to $50,000.
