Last DATE:
February 28, 2014
The Monsanto Fund works to
substantially and meaningfully improve people’s lives around the world.
As the philanthropic arm of
Monsanto, they are focused on one goal – strengthening both farming communities
and the communities where they live and work.
Eligible organizations include
public charities incorporated in U.S. and working in a foreign country,
indigenous public charities, units of government, private schools primarily
serving an economically disadvantaged population, and private hospitals
primarily serving an economically disadvantaged population.
The Monsanto Fund accepts grant
proposals for programs outside of the U.S. in the following areas:
- Providing basic education support designed to improve education in farming communities around the world, including supporting schools, libraries, science centers, farmer training programs and academic programs that enrich or supplement school programs
- Meeting critical needs in communities by supporting nonprofit organizations that help with things such as food security, sanitation, access to clean water, public safety and various other local needs
- Single grant requests must be for at least US $25,000.
Beyond that requirement, the grant
sizes will vary by region.
Each region has an allocation of
funding and will decide how many and the maximum size grants they will make in
their country.
