Our Grantmaking

 

GRANTMAKING OVERVIEW

​

Stone Foundation believes in providing flexible, patient, and trust-based philanthropic support. 

​

Our grantmaking is primarily focused on supporting work that serves the people of Monmouth County, New Jersey and Wabanakiq in Maine.  

​

We consider both general operating and project-specific grants, including both annual and multi-year commitments. 

​

Stone Foundation’s grantmaking incorporates two approaches: 

  1. An open application process that welcomes proposals from 501c3 nonprofit organizations, and community groups with a 501c3 fiscal sponsor. 

  2. Foundation-initiated investments that convene, build networks, amplify impact, and innovate solutions with and among community changemakers, connectors, and influencers.  

​​

​

We do not fund direct political lobbying, electioneering, or religious activities or institutions except in their capacity as fiscal sponsors for community-based non-religious activities.

 

Unrestricted general operating grants range in size from $5,000 to $25,000. Organizations applying for the first time are typically considered for 1-year grants between $5,000 and $10,000.  Organizations previously funded are eligible for multi-year commitments.
