RGK Foundation awards grants in the
areas of education, community, and medicine/health. The foundation's
primary interests within education include programs that focus on
formal K-12 education (particularly mathematics, science, and reading),
integrating technology into the curriculum, teacher development,
literacy, and higher education. Within community, the foundation
supports a broad range of human services, youth development, and
community improvement programs. Human service programs of particular
interest include early childhood development, parenting education,
and domestic violence and abuse prevention/services. Youth development
programs supported typically include afterschool programs that supplement
and enhance the formal education system to increase the chances
for successful outcomes in school and life. The foundation supports
a variety of community improvement programs including those that
enhance nonprofit management and promote philanthropy and volunteerism.
The foundation's current interests in the area of medicine/health
include programs that promote the health and well-being of children.
Grants are made only to nonprofit organizations certified as tax-exempt
under Section 501(c)(3) or Section 170(c) of the Internal Revenue
Code and classified as "not a private foundation" under
Section 509(a). The foundation anticipates most grants awarded during
2006 will be under $25,000. There is no deadline
for submitting an electronic letter of inquiry. The foundation
reviews electronic letters of inquiry on an ongoing basis. Within
three weeks, the foundation will send an e-mail message either declining
your request or inviting you to submit a formal application packet
for further consideration. For more information, go to www.rgkfoundation.org/.
