If you believe that your organization’s mission and programs are consistent with the Foundation’s interests then please apply through our Grant Portal link below. All applicants must submit a brief letter of inquiry describing the grantee organization and the proposed project through our Grant Portal. You will be asked to upload an organization budget, program budget and list of board members.
Letters of inquiry are welcome at any time. The letter will provide enough information for the Foundation to determine whether it will consider a formal proposal. If the idea seems promising, our program staff will follow up with requests for other materials and to schedule site visits or meetings with the potential grantee’s senior staff.
Grants are awarded only to nonprofit public charitable organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation does not make grants to individuals or provide emergency assistance, nor do we support medical research, the direct provision of health care or religious education. We rarely make grants to support conferences, publications or media.
On rare occasions, we will make grants for building renovations or other capital projects—but only to grantee organizations we know well and then only for projects that will directly improve or expand programs we support. The Foundation’s Board of Trustees has two grantmaking meetings a year, in May and December. Grant decisions are announced immediately after those meetings.
We favor programs that can make substantial progress toward their goals in a period of three years or less. While we may consider renewal of selected grants beyond that period, our general approach is not to provide long-term annual support for most grantee organizations. The Pinkerton Foundation has an on-line application process.

The Grant Portal uses this information for correspondence including important grant documents. Frequently Asked Questions Letters of inquiry may be submitted at any time. Do you support scholarships or other grants to individuals?
The Foundation makes grants only to established 501(c) (3) programs serving disadvantaged young people. We make no grants to individuals. Do you consider grants to national organizations?
Our grants are solely to programs operating in New York City or directly serving the City’s youth. Do you fund building projects or the purchase of capital equipment? We make a very small number of capital grants—but only to organizations that have been long-time Pinkerton grantees and only for projects that allow those programs to expand their direct services to young people.
Does the Foundation support benefits, dinners or other fundraising activities? What time periods do your grants cover? There is no “standard” Pinkerton grant.
Most grants are for a period of one year. We also make a number of two- or three-year grants, but those must be reviewed and confirmed by the board on an annual basis. After three years, most organizations will be ineligible to receive additional grants for at least a three-year period.

Improving Veteran Mental Health Grant Program is a grant from The Cigna Group Foundation that funds nonprofits providing housing stability and wraparound support services to improve the mental health of military veterans.

Funded programs include mortgage and rental assistance, employment re-entry training, and housing development for veterans. Eligible nonprofits must leverage evidence-informed programs and align with at least one goal: increasing permanent housing, improving housing affordability, or enhancing wraparound services for veterans transitioning from shelters.
