RGK Foundation -- Education, Community, and Health Grants

RGK Foundation awards grants in the areas of education, community, and health. The Foundation's primary interests within education include programs that focus on formal K-12 education, teacher development, literacy, and higher education. Within community, the Foundation supports a broad range of human services, community improvement, abuse prevention, and youth development programs. The Foundation's current interests in the area of health include programs that promote the health and well-being of children, programs that promote access to health services, and Foundation-initiated programs focusing on Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Grants are made to nonprofit organizations certified as tax exempt under Sections 501(c)3 or 170(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and are classified as "not a private foundation" under Section 509(a). Hospitals, educational institutions, and governmental institutions meeting these requirements are eligible to apply. While the Foundation occasionally awards grants for over $25,000, the average grant is under $25,000.
