What We Don't Fund:
-
Organizations that are not tax-exempt under paragraph 501(c)
(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code
-
Fund-raising events such as walk-a-thons, telethons or
sponsorships
- Individuals for any purpose
- Athletic events or teams, bands and choirs (including equipment and uniforms)
- Debt-reduction or retirement campaigns
- Research
- Public or private primary or secondary schools
- Requests to support travel
- Groups or organizations that will re-grant the Foundation's gifts to other organizations or individuals (except United Way)
- Endowment campaigns
- Veterans, labor, religious or fraternal groups (except when these groups provide needed services to the community at-large)
- Lobbying activities
We also generally do not fund:
- National organizations (unless the applicant is a local branch or chapter providing direct services)
- Organizations not located in areas with more than 100 Nationwide associates
- As a general policy, because the Foundation matches our associates’ United Way contributions dollar for dollar, organizations that receive support from United Way are ineligible to receive general operating support. They may be considered for project and capital grants.
