The James Foundation believes that education is a lifelong journey and learning experiences should be made available to all. Through education, quality of life will be enriched; strengthening both families and community.

The James Foundation strives to create change, enhance quality of life, and provide opportunities to individuals to thrive by focusing on the following funding priorities:

Scholarship Programs

Arts and Culture

The James Foundation is continually testing new ideas and pushing boundaries of the current concept of operations, searching for new grant opportunities to be funded that explore thought provoking and motivation projects with benevolent intent.

The James Foundation primarily makes grants to charitable organizations that have been recognized by the IRS as being descripts as Section 501(c)3 tax-exempt organizations based in the United States.

The James Foundation has a goal of encouraging educational opportunities through grants, scholarships, and other efforts to make advancements.

Unfortunately, we must decline numerous worthy proposals each year because they do not fit in the Foundation’s grant giving focus or mission.  This is not a reflection on the merit of the proposal and project. The Foundation will do its best to help recommend suitable funding alternatives.

The Foundation will not consider grants for the following types of activities or entities:

• Organizations that discriminate in either policy or practice against people because of their age, race, national origin, ethnicity, creed, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.
• Lobbying or Political Elections
• Religious Focused Requests
• Individual requests for personal loans
• For-Profit business related financial needs
• Sponsorships for activities, events, or programs.

The James Foundation has closed application and funding opportunities for the year.

The James Foundation is available to answer your questions or concerns about applying for a grant.
