The Foundation offers grants in support of research and public engagement in our major Funding Areas. We invest in bold ideas from contrarian thinkers — ideas that cross disciplinary boundaries and challenge conventional assumptions. And we fund innovative programs that engage the public with these ideas, in an effort to open minds, deepen understanding, and inspire curiosity.

Funding Areas: 

• Character Virtue Development

• Individual Freedom & Free Markets

• Life Sciences

• Mathematical & Physical Sciences

• Public Engagement

• Religion, Science and Society

Funding: Co-funding is not required for first-time applicants; however, the Foundation prioritizes projects that include substantial funding from other sources. If you are seeking renewal or follow-up funding, your proposal should include plans for securing more than 50% of the project funds from other sources.
