Max Bell Foundation makes grants to support projects that are designed to inform public policy. We do so across four program areas: Education; Environment; Health & Wellness; and Civic Engagement and Democratic Institutions.

Project Grants

The word “project” is sometimes used to refer loosely to any set of activities. We use the term in a more specific way. For our purposes, a project is:

• a clearly defined set of coordinated activities that are necessary to achieve a well defined, measurable purpose. Grants from Max Bell Foundation support projects that take as their objective informing, in some way, public policy.
• temporary and term-specific (e.g., X months) – not ongoing work of an organization that has no specified end date.
• based on its own unique, clear budget and financial accounting procedures.

Projects are different from general operating support, capital purchases, and ongoing programs, none of which are eligible for support by Max Bell Foundation.

We expect that all project-related expenses, including a portion of overhead and administration, should be budgeted for in proposals we consider.

We have no set requirements for the duration or cost of a project, but a typical project supported by Max Bell Foundation ranges from 1-3 years in duration and has a budget that ranges from approximately $10,000 to $200,000. Max Bell Foundation is seldom the only financial supporter of projects we fund.

Development Grants

These grants support organizations doing early-stage work that is intended to lead to and/or support a larger project that will aim to inform public policy. They often provide excellent learning and mentorship experiences for students or early career individuals. Examples of funded development grants have the following characteristics:

• They undertake short-term (typically four to six months) developmental work on public policy issues in health & wellness, education, or environment, or civic engagement and democracy.
• They help position applicant organizations to succeed with other larger-scale public policy initiatives.
• They may include data gathering, environmental scanning, literature reviews, preliminary analyses, detailed project planning, etc.

Grants within this program have budgets that range from $3,000 to $6,000 per month, depending on the qualifications of the person hired. The budgets cover both a stipend for the person hired and the overhead costs of mentoring and administration.
