The Arthur B. Schultz Foundation grants

The Arthur B. Schultz Foundation (ABSF) makes international grants in two core areas: women’s empowerment and disabled mobility solutions. These grants are awarded exclusively to U.S. 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations or equivalent government-recognized nonprofit status for foreign grantees.

Introducing Your Organization

ABSF is a small foundation and the grant proposal process is by invitation only. Funds are limited in relation to the significant number of quality letters of inquiry (LOIs) received each year, making receiving a grant from the Arthur B. Schultz Foundation a highly competitive process. Though grant proposals are by invitation only, ABSF are interested in learning about organizations that share its vision and priorities in Foundation’s geographic areas of interest.

Determining Eligibility

For organizations that ABSF have not previously funded, determine your eligibility for funding by answering the following questions:

• Does your organization work in one of the following geographic regions:

• East Africa (specifically Kenya)
• Central America (specifically Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua)
• Middle East (specifically Israel, Palestinian Territories[West Bank] and Iraq)
• Southeast Asia (specifically Vietnam and Cambodia)
• Afghanistan

• Does your organization work internationally on issues involving disabled mobility and/or women’s empowerment?

• Please review our priorities carefully to determine whether your organization is closely aligned with ABSF vision and values. In addition, you are encouraged you to review recently awarded grants for examples of the Foundation’s current funding in your area of interest. Is your organization/project a strong fit for ABSF’s outlined priorities?

Submitting a letter of inquiry (LOI)

If you answered yes to all three of the questions outlined above, you are welcome to introduce your organization to ABSF by submitting a Letter of Inquiry.
