Ideal Applicant
Organizations that advance youth leadership, technology and finance workforce development, or education and mentoring programs seeking operating support and aligned with FactSet's community or sector priorities.
Good Fit
- • Clear programmatic alignment with technology, finance, or youth leadership development.
- • Requests framed as operating support or multi‑year program funding at scales from small operational grants up to mid six‑figures.
- • Presence or partnerships in states and cities the foundation commonly supports (e.g., New York, Massachusetts, California, Washington DC) or in FactSet locations.
- • Existing relationships, referrals, or prior engagement with FactSet staff or corporate partners.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached 15 U.S. states and included international recipients (London and Berlin), with only a small share going to the foundation's home state.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 52 distinct organizations in the latest year, with a mix of national nonprofits and some international partners; although some dollars concentrate among top recipients, the number of independent grantees is large.
New Applicants
Direct statements and application guidance indicate grants are by invitation only; while 26 new grantees appeared in 2023 (showing staff-initiated additions), unsolicited applicants are explicitly not considered, so an unfamiliar organization without a referral is unlikely to gain entry.
