A How To Guide To The Grant Process

Eligibility Requirements
The Foundation accepts grant requests from tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations in the U.S. and from charitable equivalents outside the U.S. subject to the following eligibility requirements:
  • Your mission and the project or program seeking funding must be strongly aligned with the Foundation’s mission of economically empowering those in need.
  • Your proposal must demonstrate how it contributes toward sustainable employment opportunities (e.g., job skills development, vocational training, business-related training, entrepreneurial or business ventures, etc.) and how you will measure results.
  • One or more P&G Alums must be actively and meaningfully involved with the charitable organization for a minimum of one year.
  • The charitable organization must be in existence for a minimum of two fiscal years and provide financial statements upon request.
  • Grants are annual awards and limited to one-year commitments.
Vetting Procedures
Nonprofits registered in the U.S. are subject to ensuring compliance with IRS regulations governing 501(c)(3) organizations including a review of the GuideStar Charity Check.  International charitable organizations not registered in the U.S. are required to complete due diligence as prescribed by the Grants Committee prior to receiving a grant award if selected.
  • This due diligence will continue to ensure that our grant partners are performing their charitable work in a transparent and accountable manner while meeting registration requirements with local governments.
  • Information to complete the due diligence should be easily accessible by the nonprofit and ordinary in nature.  There is no cost to the nonprofit for completing the due diligence review process.
