Grants

Since The Gifford Foundation opened its doors, we have given back millions of dollars to the community through our grants programs. We have funded arts projects, educational opportunities, public safety initiatives, technical development, and more. Our team works closely with grantees and prospective applicants to develop existing ideas and invite new ones. Have any questions? Explore our Community Grantmaking and What If… Mini Grant pages below. For media resources and promotional materials, please click here.
