Grant Seekers
We provide project support, general operating, and capital grants to nonprofits demonstrating significant impact within in our focus areas.
While the Fox Foundation does not accept unsolicited funding proposals, we are interested in learning about nonprofits working within our focus areas: Economic Mobility, Educational Equity, Social Justice Advocacy, and Health & Wellness Support. We would especially like to hear about small and mid-sized Black and Latinx-led organizations providing direct services to underinvested in communities in the Greater Los Angeles area.

Fox Foundation Grants
The Fox Foundation provides single and multi-year program, general operating, and capital grants to nonprofit organizations working within our primary focus areas.
- First-time applicants are eligible to apply for one-year renewable program-support grants up to $25,000, with the average award being $15,000.
- Current grantees may be invited to apply for larger, multi-year renewable project-support, capital, or unrestricted general operating grants, which will vary depending on the organization’s needs, structure, geographic reach, and budget size.
- Projected to launch in Fall 2024, the Fox Foundation will invite a cohort of trailblazing nonprofit leaders to participate in our Change Accelerator program. This three-year program is designed to help small (under $5M operating budget) nonprofits already demonstrating significant social impact to innovate and scale. Change Accelerator participants will collaborate with each other and professional advisors to develop their inherent strengths as nonprofit executives, boost the financial capacity of their organizations through an earned revenue stream, and broaden their resource networks.
Please check back for details on the Fox Foundation Change Accelerator participation benefits and expectations, and information on how to apply.

Reporting
In alignment with our core values, the Fox Foundation strives to maximize the positive impact of our funding and other support resources on our nonprofit partners and their service communities. We also recognize many nonprofit organizations have limited capacity to conduct formal evaluation and do not want to place additional or undue administrative burden on Grantees. The Fox Foundation will develop a customized reporting plan in collaboration with each Grantee that best meets their needs and advances the funding objectives outlined in the grant proposal.
Depending on the grant amount and specific terms, the Fox Foundation annual reporting expectation may include the completion of an online report document, a virtual or in-person conversation or site visit, and/or submission of an annual impact report and financial statements. Specific deliverables and reporting expectations will be outlined in a Grant Agreement to be signed prior to receiving an award.
