Availability of Foundation Grants

Foundation grants may be available for your research and development project. Realistically, however, these are likely to be highly targeted to specific fields, require a rigorous vetting / approval / reporting process, and restrictive in the types of costs funded. The private sector often may not be eligible. The IP resulting from the work may have to enter the public domain after completion, and grant foundations are likely to lean towards scientific research rather than advancement for new product development as the ultimate objective. Each foundation has its own set of rules and guidelines requiring, in some cases, significant up-front exploration of those rules.

If your company knows of foundation grants that may be suitable for your purposes but your time to prepare an application is lacking, TSGI may be able to assist. Alternatively, we can help survey available foundation grants.
