The grantmaking of the Ingram-White Castle Foundation (IWCF) reflects the interests of both the Ingram Family and White Castle System, Inc. , as its name suggests.

Although IWCF is primarily interested in supporting projects in the field of education, the Foundation’s mission is much broader. The Foundation supports programs that: Serve disadvantaged students and help them achieve academic success; Help prepare students for the world of work; Strengthen educational institutions; and Address critical human service needs.

Priority is given to those projects that: Encourage matching gifts or additional funding from other donors; Yield substantial benefits to the community for the resources invested; and Promote cooperation among agencies without duplicating services. Generally, grants are not made for religious purposes, budget deficits, conferences, or projects that are normally the responsibility of a public agency.

Support is generally given for one year. Grants are made primarily in the central Ohio area ( defined as the 10-county Columbus Metropolitan Statistical Area ). The Ingram-White Castle Foundation has two grantmaking deadlines per year: January 15 and July 15.

The online application will be accessible approximately six weeks in advance of each deadline, and decisions for grant awards are announced in late June and December. Please note that only those applications that are closely aligned with the Foundation’s mission, values, and grantmaking focus will be considered.

For those unfamiliar with the Foundation’s application process, you are encouraged to attend one of the Grant Opportunity Open House events that are held throughout the year. These events provide an opportunity for nonprofit organizations to meet the staff managing grant processes for Supporting Foundations and The Columbus Foundation. View Deadlines for specific dates.
