Open Grants — MARTHA HOLDEN JENNINGS FOUNDATION Beginning in 2026, and as part of our Visioning Forward process, our grant periods have been changed, as well as the steps of the application process; see below. The Open Grant program is designed to make a positive lasting impact on student learning and teaching across Ohio.
Any public school district, non-religious private school or non-profit organization working in conjunction with public schools, in any county of Ohio, can apply. The typical size of an Open Grant is $15,000, but they can range from $4,000-$55,000. While providing a picture for the larger scope of the work is helpful, the Foundation only approves funds for one year.
An organization may resubmit a proposal for continued funding based on the Final Evaluation report. See the Grant Deadlines schedule See the Grant Deadlines schedule All grant requests are reviewed through the lens of our tripodal approach, with priority given to proposals that demonstrate clear alignment with one or more of our strategic focus areas.
Please review our grantmaking overview carefully to ensure your proposal aligns with our grantmaking strategy. Average grant amount: $15,000 (your budget total must match the budget requested from MHJF). Grants are awarded for a one-year period.
While a broader project scope may be outlined, funding is approved on an annual basis. Organizations or districts may reapply for a grant only after submitting the Final Educational Report and Financial Report from any previously awarded grant. Organizations or districts may apply for a grant or a renewal grant only after they have submitted the Final Reports for any previously awarded grant.
Login to, or create, an account: The Eligibility Quiz is the first required step in our grant application process. All prospective applicants must complete the quiz to determine whether their organization is eligible to apply. Once you are logged in to the grant portal, you will be prompted to complete this first step.
If your organization is eligible , you will be directed to submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI); read on below. If your organization is not eligible , you will be informed that you are unable to proceed at this time. Organizations that pass the Eligibility Quiz may submit an Open Grants LOI (Letter of Inquiry) .
The LOI allows us to review requests at a high level and assess alignment with our current grantmaking priorities. LOI submission deadlines: February 15, May 15, August 15, October 15. Not all organizations that submit an LOI will be invited to submit a full application.
We will prioritize requests that we determine are closely aligned with our new grantmaking focus areas. Applicants will typically be notified within 2–3 business days after submitting an LOI whether they are invited to apply. Submitting your LOI earlier within the cycle gives you more timeto prepare a full application if invited.
If you are invited to apply... Upload a signed Letter of Endorsement from a superintendent on district letterhead - this is required for every grant application. If you are an organization working with a public school, you must also upload a Letter of Endorsement from the Chief Executive of your organization.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line. Application Process: The application process for the NLG-L program has two phases; applicants must begin by applying for Phase I.
