Grant Guidelines
The Harnisch Foundation supports collaborative and innovative projects in the areas of philanthropy, coaching, and journalism.
Our grants are typically one-time-only, although some grants may be paid over a multi-year period. We prefer to support projects that are collaborative in nature and that have sustainable strategies to keep moving forward without our assistance.
While requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, applicants should note that as a general practice, the Foundation does not fund the total cost of a program budget. Applicants should request a grant amount that is consistent with a thoughtful and sustainable fund raising strategy.
Applicant Eligibility:
An organization that is certified as tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and is not a private foundation as defined in section 509(a) of that Code is eligible for consideration.
