Ideal Applicant
Established community-service or public-safety organizations (United Way chapters, fire/emergency services, education foundations or national partners) that align with corporate philanthropic priorities and can be engaged via partnership or nomination.
Good Fit
- • Is a United Way, large local or national service organization, or a well-known education foundation.
- • Works on fire prevention, emergency services, community resilience, or related public-safety topics.
- • Has an existing relationship with FM Global, its corporate giving staff, or a national intermediary.
- • Operates in states where the foundation has previously funded and can absorb larger multi-year grants.
Geography
Observed grants span many states across the U.S. and include some international recipients; the latest year covered 15 states while prior years covered dozens more, indicating a national/international footprint.
Recipient Variety
Across the observed years the foundation funded many distinct recipients (around 165 recipients in 2022–2023 and 21 in 2024), showing a broad and varied recipient set despite dollar concentration in a few large grants.
New Applicants
Behavior shows a high rate of new grantees historically (large numbers of new recipients in 2022–2023 and 17 new recipients in 2024), but the foundation explicitly states it funds only preselected recipients, so entry by unfamiliar applicants is plausible mostly via nomination, partnership, or referral rather than through an open application.
