Office Depot Foundation

Purpose: The Office Depot Foundation’s funding focus aligns with its Strategic Priorities. The Foundation prefers to fund projects and programs in the following areas:

• Giving Children Tools for Success – Supporting activities that give young people tools to succeed in the school and in life through education and inspiration.
• Building Capacity to Serve Communities – Supporting programs that help non-profit organizations to serve the needs of their communities efficiently and effectively.
• Disaster Preparedness, Relief, Recovery and Rebuilding – Supporting efforts that help people and communities prepare for disasters and then rebuild and recover when disasters occur.

Eligibility:  Applications that are within the above guidelines are then reviewed to determine the following:
-  The priority of the proposed activity within the Foundation’s goals,
-  The extent to which the proposal includes collaborative efforts,
-  The impact of the potential results of the activities, and
-  The availability of the Foundation’s funds.

When an online application reflects the Foundation’s program priorities and is considered for funding, the Foundation may request additional information. This information should be submitted to the Foundation only upon request.

Amount available per project:  Grant amounts will be a minimum of $50 and a maximum of $3,000 (very limited). The majority of grants are awarded in the area of $1,000 and are supported by in-kind donations when inventory allows.
