Description: The Hasbro Children's Foundation is committed
to improving the emotional,
mental and physical well-being of children, birth through age twelve,
through the support of innovative direct service programs in the areas
of health, education and social services.
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 multi-year
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.
Application Information: Visit website for application
(above) and letter requirements.
Hasbro Children's Foundation welcomes unsolicited proposals for projects
that are within the Foundation's guidelines. Requests for funding are
reviewed on a rolling basis.
Grant decisions are made by the Board of Trustees at meetings held three
times each year.

Eligibility: An applicant must
be a non-profit, community-based organization with
an
IRS tax-exempt 501(c)3 status or sponsored by such
an organization. PTP only accepts proposals from
organizations focused on and based in the United
States.
Description: supports grassroots
organizing groups that engage in multi-issue social,
economic and environmental justice efforts to empower
low-income people and communities of color to address
root causes of social inequities. The purpose of
the Organizing Technology Grants Program is to help
groups strengthen their organizing efforts through
appropriate use of technology. This program provides
basic capacity building grants that groups can use
to purchase equipment, secure technical assistance
and provide training to staff and members. The grants
will help develop uses of technology for organizing
that can be shared as models and examples. More than
just providing funds to purchase equipment, a grant
award should be used to assist a group in applying
technology to its work in a way that makes the organization
stronger and more effective at achieving its social
change ends. Funds can be used for training, technical
support, consulting, needs assessment, planning,
hardware and software, designing applications and
setting up systems.

EDWARD W HAZEN
FOUNDATION GRANTS
http://www.hazenfoundation.org/whoweare.htm
Funding Amounts: Approximately
$2,000,000 will be awarded annually. The Foundation
does not make grants to individuals, schools or
school districts. Similarly, the Foundation does
not fund social-service programs, scholarships
or fellowships; nor provide funds toward ongoing
operational expenses, deficit funding, building
construction or maintenance.
Eligibility: Grants are made only to federally
tax-exempt non-profit organizations.
Description: The Foundation’s principal
focus is on middle and high school-age youth in low-income
and minority communities, both rural and urban. Grant requests
from grassroots and community-based organizations outside
of these targeted sites (Baltimore, District of Columbia,
Philadelphia, New York City, Miami, the Mississippi Delta,
Chicago, Texas (city to be determined) and Los Angeles)
will be considered for small grants of $5,000 or less.
Preference will be given to new or emerging school organizing
and/or advocacy efforts where a small, timely grant can
make a difference in implementing a promising initiative.
The Foundation’s focus is on assisting children and youth, particularly
minorities and those disadvantaged by poverty, to achieve their full
potential as individuals and as active participants in a democratic society.
The Foundation’s grantmaking priorities focus on public school
reform and youth leadership development. Implementation of these priorities
is shaped by a set of assumptions, including: that urban and rural public
school systems consistently short change children in both the programs
and the services they deliver; that low reading achievement, high dropout
rates, and other negative results of public education are not inevitable;
that students’ abilities, economic status or family backgrounds
are all obstacles to learning that can be overcome by quality school
programs; and that engaging young people in activities that include youth
organizing, leadership development and advocacy around concrete social
issues is essential to developing a new generation of community leaders.
Application Information: There is a two step process:
1. Letter of Inquiry and 2. Hazen Grant Application. 1. Letter of
Inquiry-Applicants must first submit a brief letter (1-2 pages) providing

writing regarding the status of their request 2 to 3 weeks after

is within
the Foundation’s program interests and priorities. The Foundation
does not accept unsolicited proposals. Send letters of inquiry to: President,Edward
