Description
1) Objective
The CS Fund and Warsh-Mott Legacy (CSF/WML) aims to promote progressive social change and has three programmatic areas for grant-making. These are (1) rights and governance (incl. support for initiatives to improve the social, environmental, and governance aspects of international trade agreements); (2) emerging technologies (addressing the potential risks of nanotechnology, synthetic biology, genetic engineering, and related technologies); (3) food sovereignty (incl. support of grassroots activities in seed saving, soil building, protection of pollinating insects and animals, and traditional agriculture); and (4) just transitions. Grants are for activities in the USA and internationally, including for issues important in developing countries.
2) Eligibility
Applicant organisations must be classified as a 501(c)(3) by the US Internal Revenue Service. Foreign applicants should note that CSF and WML make a very limited number of direct grants abroad (i.e., without fiscal sponsorship by a US-based organization). The foundations do not provide support to individuals, endowments, or direct lobbying activities.
3) Location
Outside the United States the Foundation has no defined focus countries and provides grants for projects worldwide.
4) Budget
Most grants range from $20,000 to $150,000. Their total annual grant budget is around $3,000,000.
5) Application
Due to their limited capacity and budget, they are able to support only a relatively small number of initiatives and are not accepting unsolicited proposals at this time. However, if your project or initiative is in alignment with their strategy and approach, and is something they ought to know about, they invite you to share your contact info and a brief overview of your work online. While they cannot guarantee a response to every inquiry, they review submissions periodically and if there is a fit and capacity, a Program Director will contact you.
