Verizon Foundation Grants

The Verizon Foundation offers grants to: 1) increase their literacy and educational achievement, 2) avoid being an abuser or a victim of domestic violence, or 3) achieve and sustain their health and safety. Proposals will be considered from eligible tax-exempt organizations in certain 501(c)(3) subsections as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Proposals will also be considered from elementary and secondary schools* (public and private) that are registered with the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Eligible organizations seeking grants from the Verizon Foundation must be prepared to track and report program outcomes as well as specific results that demonstrate measurable human impact. In the grant application, organizations must indicate what outcomes are targeted through programming and what results, as specified on the grant application, the organization will measure. Verizon Foundation only accepts electronic proposals. The Verizon Foundation reviews unsolicited proposals on a continuous calendar year basis from January 1st through October 31st.
