Ideal Applicant
Mid‑to‑large U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations or fiscally sponsored projects with national programs in digital equity, STEM/education, or initiatives that bridge technology and the humanities, especially those that can be nominated or have existing relationships with the foundation or its partners.
Good Fit
- • Work that advances digital equity, STEM/technology education, or builds bridges between sciences and the humanities.
- • Organizational capacity to manage large grants or to act through an intermediary/fiscal sponsor.
- • Existing relationship, nomination, or partnership with HP, employee giving programs, or known intermediaries.
- • National or multi‑state reach rather than strictly local operations.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached 11 states with 99% of giving going outside the foundation's home state, indicating a national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 21 distinct recipients funded, with roughly half returning grantees and about ten new recipients, demonstrating a broadly distributed recipient set despite dollar concentration in a few large awards.
New Applicants
The foundation's public materials state that grants are by preselection and unsolicited requests are not accepted, yet filings show a steady flow of new grantees (about ten in the latest year), suggesting new entrants can appear but likely through nomination, intermediaries, or relationship channels rather than open unsolicited applications.
