Hasbro Children's
Foundation Announces Funding Guidelines
Deadline:
Rolling
A philanthropic program of toy and game manufacturer Hasbro,
the Hasbro Children's Foundation is committed to improving
the emotional, mental, and physical well-being of children
from birth through age twelve and their families through
the support of innovative direct service programs in the
areas of health, education, and social services.
In making funding decisions, the foundation is guided by
three values: Caring, programs that work to ensure that
all children have safe and caring environments where they
can grow and thrive; Opportunity, programs that provide
healthcare, education, and social services that give young
children the help they need to join their peers in learning
and achieving; and Joy, opportunities for the most vulnerable
children to experience joyful moments as part of their everyday
life.
The foundation provides three types of direct-service funding
support:
Innovative Programs With Local Impact
-- Small grants to direct-service programs that meet a need
of disadvantaged children in a local community in an innovative
way. Funding can be sought to seed a new program component,
or help make an existing program more efficient or effective.
National Replication/Adaptation/Expansion of Innovations
--Larger and sometimes multiyear grants for direct-service
programs that have the ability to bring their successful
programs to other communities. Funding can be sought for
the process of growing a program that benefits disadvantaged
children and families to multiple sites.
Innovative Programs With National Impact --
Seed grants for programs that propose to meet the needs
of vulnerable children and their families in a new way and
have the potential for improving the quality of life for
these children in every community across the nation. Grant
size in this category ranges widely .Funding request amounts
should relate to the scope and reach of the project. The
foundation is rarely the sole supporter of a program. Local
community projects should be able to show local support,
while larger, multi-city expansions should show partnerships
and support in all proposed sites. Local grants for model
community programs typically range from $500 to $35,000.
For multi-site expansions awards are from $35,000 up, and
are granted over a period of one to three years. The largest
grants are awarded to programs that are national in potential
impact and scope.
The foundation funds not-for-profit organizations only.
The foundation places the highest value on ensuring caring
and consistent person-to-person services for the most vulnerable
children and their families.
Requests for funding are reviewed on a rolling basis. See
