Thank you for your interest in partnering with us. While we are not currently expanding our Empathy Building portfolio, we are always open to learning more about new organizations and projects. We welcome inquiries from prospective partners and others seeking to learn more about our grantmaking.
Our Other Giving and CGRE area portfolios are internally directed areas of our grantmaking.
Current partners with questions about grants should contact their program officer.
Eligibility
Inclusion in our grantmaking is determined by an organization’s alignment, proximity to our Empathy Building Initiative’s mission and program area priorities, as well as how an organization's particular body of work compliments the efforts of our greater portfolio of current grantees. Please review each program area page for specific eligibility criteria. Grants are evaluated on a case-by-case basis through due diligence and conversation.
We encourage you to review our grants list which includes our current partners for comparison, as well as our How We Work page, for insights on our timeline, process, and examples of our application.
Have 501(c)3 status or be a fiscally-sponsored project

What we don't fund
We typically do not fund lobbying and activities to influence specific legislation, medical research, endowments, or individuals. In addition, we do not support organizations that discriminate against groups or individuals, or organizations that promote religious doctrine in the delivery of programs and services.
Introduction Form
Please note that this is not a funding application, but rather an opportunity to share more about how your work uses stories to foster empathy. Due to the high volume of inquiries, we are unable to respond to every submission. If our giving priorities shift and we see alignment, we will reach out to you directly.
We appreciate your understanding and patience.
