The Hearst Foundations
Category: General
DescriptionThe Foundations, formed by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, support well-established nonprofits that address important issues within their major areas of interest: health, education, culture, and social services. Education grants fund exemplary institutions of higher education dedicated to preparing students to succeed in a global society. Preference is given to undergraduate education at medium-size private, liberal arts colleges and universities. Occasionally the Foundations will award grants to support K-12 programs and graduate study. Health grants assist leading regional hospitals, medical centers, and specialized medical institutions such as children’s and women’s hospitals. The Foundations fund direct medical services that promote wellness, prevention, and rehabilitation. Areas of interest are cancer, geriatrics, neonatology, perinatology, pediatrics, women’s health, and the disabled. Culture grants fund cultural institutions that offer innovative programs in the arts and sciences, the majority of which enable access for young people. These grants also support education initiatives for students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12. Priority for the social services grants is given to efforts that enable children, youth, and families to lead productive and independent lives. The two Foundations are managed as one entity, sharing the same funding guidelines, leadership, and staff. Staff based in the New York City headquarters review all proposals from organizations located east of the Mississippi River. Staff in the San Francisco office review requests from nonprofits located west of the Mississippi. Additional information including an online application can be found on the Web site.
