Ideal Applicant
Mid‑sized or local nonprofits delivering STEM/education programming, youth development, or health/community services—especially organizations operating in KLA hubs (California, Michigan, Texas) with projects sized to typical grants ($5k–$250k) or participation in corporate matching programs.
Good Fit
- • Direct STEM, STEAM or K–12 education programs (robotics, tutoring, teacher PD).
- • Community programs in KLA locations (e.g., Milpitas/Silicon Valley, Ann Arbor, Austin, Richardson).
- • Projects with budgets in the $5k–$250k range or that can participate in employee matching platforms.
- • Opportunities tied to volunteer weeks, sponsorships, or one‑year program pilots.
Geography
Observed grants span 27 states/provinces and include international allocations, though roughly half of the dollars in the latest year were concentrated in California.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 153 distinct recipients and 188 grants, with a broad mix of schools, youth programs, food banks and health charities rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness is strong: 127 of 153 recipients in the latest year were new and the foundation publishes program details and application timelines; however, public materials also note that some grants are preselected, so unsolicited approaches should be matched to published program windows.
