Description
Project Grants support clearly defined activities designed to achieve a specific objective that aligns with the Foundation’s mission and criteria. Max Bell Foundation does not support ongoing programs, capital projects, nor provide unrestricted grants to organizations. Project grants are described in more detail here.
Development Grants support organizations who wish to undertake short term (typically 4 month) work that will better position them to succeed with larger projects (e.g., environmental scanning; background research; project planning; proposal development etc.). Development grants are described in more detail here.
For both grant types, Max Bell Foundation assesses proposals for alignment with our mission, programs, and criteria. These are explained on the Types and Programs and Criteria pages. You can read a list of questions grantseekers often ask at our FAQ page. If you would like to learn about projects that we have supported in the past, please visit our Grants Database.
Max Bell Foundation also has a Senior Fellows Program, which is described in more detail here.

There are no deadlines for initial requests. We receive and respond to initial requests throughout the year.
