Ideal Applicant
Organizations working in STEM education, eco+STEM/environmental sustainability, or workforce development with demonstrated program impact, capacity to manage mid-sized grants, and links to regional Bosch community priorities.
Good Fit
- • Clear programmatic focus on K–12 STEM, teacher development, robotics, or career/CTE pathways.
- • Projects that combine environmental stewardship with STEM learning (eco+STEM).
- • Evidence of measurable outcomes and ability to manage grants in the $10K–$250K range.
- • Existing partnerships with schools, colleges, community organizations, or corporate/community nomination pathways.
- • Geographic presence in states where Bosch funds frequently (e.g., MI, SC, NC, NH).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached organizations in 25 states with a multi-state footprint; Michigan is the largest single state but most dollars were distributed across many other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 222 distinct grantees across a wide range of organizations and purposes (STEM, teacher development, eco+STEM, workforce), and the top five recipients together represent only about one‑fifth of total giving.
New Applicants
Direct public application routes are not apparent beyond general application information and the fund states grants are typically preselected; however, the fund funded roughly 90 new recipients in 2024 (about 41%), so new entrants do appear in the portfolio though they likely enter via nomination, partnership, or targeted outreach rather than an open competitive process.
