Lemelson Foundation is a private corporation based in PORTLAND, OR. The foundation received its IRS ruling in 1998. The principal officer is Dorthy Lemelson Pres. It holds total assets of $414.4M. Annual income is reported at $228M. Total assets have grown from $322.9M in 2011 to $414.4M in 2024. The foundation is governed by 7 officers and trustees. Tax records are available from 2018 to 2024. The foundation primarily funds organizations in Oregon and Massachusetts. According to available records, Lemelson Foundation has made 244 grants totaling $56.6M, with a median grant of $75K. The foundation has distributed between $12.5M and $16.1M annually from 2020 to 2023. Individual grants have ranged from $460 to $4.5M, with an average award of $232K. The foundation has supported 112 unique organizations. The foundation primarily supports organizations in Massachusetts, District of Columbia, Oregon, which account for 39% of all grants. Grantmaking reaches organizations across 26 states. Contributions to this foundation are tax-deductible.
The Lemelson Foundation operates as a relationship-first, invitation-driven funder with $414 million in assets and a demonstrated annual giving range of $20–27 million (2012–2023). The foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals as standard practice; its program staff identify opportunities through existing grantee networks, academic researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. For organizations that lack a warm introduction, the only formal entry point is a brief email inquiry to grantsmanagement@lemelson.org.
The foundation's giving philosophy centers on patient capital for systems change — not project grants, but multi-year institutional investments. The top grantee, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has received $11.8 million across six grants for the Lemelson-MIT Prize and InvenTeam programs. National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (VentureWell) received $12.4 million combined across multiple grants — the single largest cumulative relationship in the portfolio. These relationships span a decade or more, suggesting the foundation values continuity and deepening impact with proven partners over breadth.
First-time applicants should position their organization as a field-builder, not a single-program operator. The foundation is drawn to intermediaries — organizations that train others, build ecosystems, conduct research that changes practice, or convene networks. Pure implementation grants (run a program for a year) rarely feature in the top-50 grantee list. Organizations should demonstrate how their work changes the conditions for invention at scale.
Three strategic pillars govern all funding decisions: Invention Education (K-12 and higher education), Invention & Entrepreneurship (incubators and innovation ecosystems), and Climate Action (physical invention addressing climate change). Applications that address two pillars simultaneously — such as climate-focused invention education for youth from underrepresented communities — tend to align most strongly with the foundation's current direction. The review cycle from initial proposal request to award letter runs approximately six months, so outreach should begin 8–10 months before a target project start date.
The Lemelson Foundation's publicly reported financials reveal a remarkably stable grantmaking operation. Total giving has ranged from $17.9 million (2012) to $26.9 million (2023), with a decade average of approximately $22–24 million per year. Grants paid (direct disbursements) have been tighter, ranging from $10.8 million to $16.1 million annually, with the gap reflecting program-related investments and multi-year pledge accounting.
From the top-50 grantee analysis (244 grants totaling $56.6 million), the average grant size is $231,963 and the median transaction is estimated at $100,000–$200,000 for most grantees. However, the distribution is heavily skewed by flagship relationships: MIT ($11.8M across 6 grants), VentureWell / NCCIA ($12.4M across 6 grants), Portland State University Foundation ($2.9M across 13 grants), and Kenya Impact Innovations Foundation ($2.1M across 6 grants). These top 4 relationships account for over $29 million — more than half the top-50 total.
Geographically, the Oregon concentration is striking: 47 of 244 grants went to OR-based organizations, making up ~19% of the geographic distribution despite Oregon representing less than 1.3% of the U.S. population. This reflects Portland headquarters proximity and the foundation's role in building Oregon's invention ecosystem. The DC corridor (29 grants) and Massachusetts (19 grants) anchor the national advocacy and higher-education strategy.
By program area, Invention Education commands the largest share — MIT, VentureWell, Portland State, Oregon MESA, TIE Oregon, Society for Science, WETA, and Smithsonian collectively exceed $20 million. Invention & Entrepreneurship (global incubators: Villgro, KIIF, SELCO, ASME ISHOW) accounts for approximately $8–10 million. Climate Action grants (Rocky Mountain Institute, EDF, Climate Breakthrough, Clearpath, Instituto Clima e Sociedade) represent a newer but rapidly scaling allocation, with $4–5 million visible in the top-50 data. Engineering for One Planet curriculum grants (ASEE, Villanova, Arizona State, University of Maryland) constitute a distinct $1.5–2 million sub-portfolio.
Grant sizes by program tier: flagship multi-year partnerships ($1M–$12M cumulative), mid-tier programmatic grants ($200K–$1M), and exploratory or field-building micro-grants ($25K–$200K, as seen with Oregon Tech's $25K Ready, Set, Innovate! award and InvenTeam grants of $7,500 each).
The Lemelson Foundation sits in a peer group of $400–$420 million asset foundations in the Philanthropy & Grantmaking NTEE category, though its mission focus on invention and innovation is highly distinctive within that cohort.
| Foundation | Assets | Annual Giving | Primary Focus | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lemelson Foundation | $414M | ~$22-27M | Invention education, entrepreneurship, climate action | Invited only (email inquiry) |
| Capital Group Companies Charitable Foundation | $415M | Not public | Employee/cause-related giving, general | Limited |
| Gary and Mary West Charitable Trust | $411M | Not public | Health, aging, San Diego community | Invited only |
| Goizueta Foundation | $410M | Not public | Education, entrepreneurship, Atlanta region | Invited only |
| Nelda C and H.J. Lutcher Stark Foundation | $419M | Not public | Arts, education, East Texas community | Invited only |
Among these asset peers, the Lemelson Foundation is the most programmatically focused and nationally/internationally active. The West Charitable Trust and Stark Foundation are deeply regional; Goizueta concentrates on Atlanta and Emory University partnerships. None of the peers share Lemelson's signature emphasis on invention as a distinct form of human activity deserving its own educational ecosystem.
For mission comparison, closer peers include the Kauffman Foundation (entrepreneurship education, ~$1.9B assets), the Simons Foundation (STEM research, ~$4.4B), and the MacArthur Foundation's climate programs — all significantly larger. Lemelson occupies a rare niche: the only U.S. foundation of its size whose core identity is invention specifically, not STEM broadly or entrepreneurship generally. This specificity is both a constraint and an asset for applicants who can authentically demonstrate alignment.
The foundation's most significant 2024–2025 activity has been the formalization of its climate-invention strategy through institutional co-investments. In January 2025, Lemelson and the National Science Foundation announced the first joint awards under a $3 million, three-year NSF-Lemelson Initiative on Environmental and Social Sustainability in Engineering Education — a landmark partnership that gives the foundation policy leverage across hundreds of U.S. engineering programs simultaneously.
In August 2024, the foundation committed approximately $2 million to Industrial Innovation Cohorts targeting the decarbonization of steel, cement, and chemicals — the so-called "hard-to-abate" industrial sectors. This signals that the foundation is moving from methane detection (MethaneSAT with Environmental Defense Fund) and cooling efficiency (Global Cooling Prize in India) toward deep industrial decarbonization, a significantly larger and more capital-intensive problem space.
The Engineering for One Planet program accelerated in September 2024 with 18 mini-grants awarded, expanding the ASEE partnership to Cohorts IV and V (24 awardees each year through 2025 and 2026 respectively). The ASEE relationship, totaling $789,692 in the top-50 data, appears to be scaling toward a more substantial multi-year commitment.
On the organizational side, September 2025 brought a move to new Portland headquarters at 2035 NW Front Avenue, Suite 501 — described as environmentally-friendly and human-centered, consistent with the foundation's values signaling. Carol Dahl remains the top-compensated executive at $445,775 (most recent filing), with Robert Schneider serving as Executive Director at $345,779 and Brian Doran as Chief Financial and Administrative Officer at $303,059. Leadership stability is notable: all three appear across multiple years of filings.
Entry point: The foundation does not process cold LOIs or grant applications. Email grantsmanagement@lemelson.org with a brief organizational introduction — two to three paragraphs describing your mission, the specific program you're seeking funding for, and its alignment with Lemelson's three pillars (Invention Education, Invention & Entrepreneurship, Climate Action). Staff review these and follow up only if there's strategic fit. This is a volume-filtered queue; the bar for a reply is whether your work fills a recognized gap in their strategy, not whether it is meritorious on its own terms.
Warm introductions are decisive. The foundation identifies most opportunities through existing grantees and field networks. If your organization has connections to MIT, VentureWell, SELCO Foundation, Villgro, Oregon Community Foundation, ASEE, or other active Lemelson grantees, request an introduction before emailing the foundation directly. A single sentence from a known partner carries more weight than a polished cold inquiry.
Hardware over software: The Lemelson family legacy is in physical invention — Jerome Lemelson held over 600 patents. The foundation explicitly favors projects involving hardware, materials, and the physical sciences over software-only or digital-platform approaches. Applications should describe tangible artifacts, prototypes, or physical technologies.
Mandatory alignment with equity and sustainability: The foundation now requires grantees to address DEI integration and environmental responsibility as explicit deliverables, not aspirations. Proposals should identify specific underrepresented communities served, describe concrete equity practices, and include environmental sustainability metrics. The Edison Institute DEI audit grant ($1.24M) demonstrates willingness to fund equity-focused process work as a standalone activity.
Budget and timeline realism: From initial staff conversation to award letter runs approximately six months. Build multi-year project budgets — the foundation rarely funds one-year pilots unless they are deliberately scoped as feasibility studies (see Calcef Innovations at $99,763 for a due diligence service pilot). Overhead rates are not publicly disclosed, but general operating support grants (NPR, Climate Breakthrough) indicate comfort with institutional overhead.
Portland and Oregon connections help: 47 of 244 grants went to Oregon organizations. If your work has a Portland/Oregon nexus, a regional angle, or can involve Oregon institutions as partners, make that explicit.

Invention education community of practice - the foundation established an invention education convening focused on building an invention community, developed new partnerships between programs and built consensus among relevant stakeholders about frameworks, definitions and thematic priorities in invention education. The foundation broadened the original community to include grantees and partners from higher education. The program covered convening costs (food, planning consultants, av, attendee travel support, etc.), as well as supported attendees to continue working on key topic areas gleaned (ex: researching invention education, communications) from the convening.
Expenses: $253K
Engineering for one planet ("eop") grants community of practice management and engagement - mobilized by the foundation with the assistance of a consultant, the eop initiative is developing and sharing teaching resources, directly funding catalytic curricular changes. Eop stakeholders co-developed the eop framework to facilitate curricular changes. The framework provides faculty with a helpful menu of core and advanced sustainability learning outcomes and aligns to requirements in the abet accreditation standards.
Expenses: $144K
Engineering for one planet ("eop") network launch, communications and convenings - the foundation launched an active network of engaged stakeholders to advance the vision of eop; developed shared buy-in among stakeholders to advance eop and identify priority ideas, concerns, and opportunities among interested stakeholders; developed collaborative projects among eop stakeholders; identified additional opportunities or resources for advancing eop; and inspired awareness about the importance of equipping engineers with eop skills among key audiences such as engineering deans. The network was able to share lessons learned and inspiring stories of curricular change using eop framework.
Expenses: $113K
