Grant Information

Grant Information

We seek to fund the ongoing work of groups and organizations who have as their mission to preserve and promote the ideals and values which are the foundation of the American Dream. Groups must have an IRS 501(c)(3) designation and work in a non-partisan fashion. All work must be done for US Citizens within the United States of America.

Because we are a smaller, private foundation, we try to make more, smaller grants, for specialized use. We would prefer to do something small, yet meaningful, for 20 different groups and organizations than fund the operating budget of one facility for a year. Our grants range from $100-$5,000.

Grants are reviewed and funds distributed twice times a year. Cut off dates are listed on the calendar tab along with the date when you may look to see the grants approved. If your grant request is not listed, it was not approved. An email explaining the decision will be sent to the email address submitting the application. All grants not approved will be destroyed. It will be necessary to resubmit your grant application (with tax-exempt status) if you would like to be considered another period.

Also, because we want to keep more funds available for grants, we operate with a volunteer staff and try to do as much as possible via e-mail. If you have specific questions, we will try to answer them. E-mail us at: mail@kobefoundation.org

The next page contains the Grant Application Form which should be filled out COMPLETELY. We rely on an entirely volunteer staff for everything including grant reviews. As a result, it is ESSENTIAL that you use the on-line form provided to apply for a grant. It may be submitted ON LINE or printed and MAILED, but only applications submitted on this form will be considered. Click Here to view the Grant Application Form.

In either case, a copy of your IRS 501( c) (3) LETTER must be received by mail prior to the cut off date in order to be considered. You are encouraged scan and submit your form electronically to: grants@kobefoundation.org.
