2024 Nationwide Foundation Grants
Submit ticket request // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1
Nationwide will not accept multiple proposals from one organization.
The Nationwide Foundation also helps associates, partners and retirees maximize the impact of their personal gifts by matching their contributions to our United Way campaign and to accredited higher-education institutions dollar for dollar.
Through Nationwide’s Community Impact Model, the foundation assesses the needs in communities and awards grants to support organizations that provide emergency and basic needs and crisis stabilization.
Tier 1: Emergency and Basic Needs
Aligned to our business, we’re there to help in an emergency. We partner with organizations that provide life’s necessities.
Tier 2: Crisis Stabilization
Before a crisis happens or after one hits, we hold the safety net. We partner with organizations that provide resources to prevent crises or help pick up the pieces after one occurs.
Tier 3: Personal and family empowerment
We help at-risk youth and families in poverty situations who need tools and resources to advance their lives. We partner with organizations that assist individuals in becoming productive members of society.
Tier 4: Community enrichment*
We understand the well-being of a community affects all who live in it. We partner with organizations that contribute to the overall quality of life in a community.
*Tier 4 organizations, such as agriculture, arts and culture, civic and community, higher education/scholarships, and health research organizations, are by invitation only.
Any organization who wishes to apply for a grant must first attend one 45-minute virtual training.
