For Grant Seekers
Ford
Foundation grant funds are given to organizations such as universities,
governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations. Grants to individuals
are rarely made. In those unique instances, support to individuals is limited
to activities related to the foundation's program interests and cannot be
funded by a grant to an organization.
Regional Support
The
foundation's New Delhi office provides support solely for educational,
scientific, literary and charitable activities. Grants can be made for specific
projects or for general support of an organization whose work closely parallels
the foundation's program interests. All grants are made on the basis of the
merit of the proposals and their potential contribution to the advancement of
the our regional program objectives.
We no
longer fund projects in higher education, microfinance, the arts, HIV/AIDS and
international cooperation and security. In addition, our office, in keeping
with the foundation wide policy, does not award undergraduate or graduate
scholarships; make grants for purely personal needs; and, in general, does not
fund requests related to medicines or medical service delivery, or emergency
relief.
Who May Apply
Any
legally constituted organization or individual is eligible to receive a
foundation grant. Indian organizations that do not have a Foreign Currency
Regulation Act number will need to receive prior permission from the government
of India before a grant agreement can be signed.
