Goldenrod is an operating foundation. It invests primarily in programs that the foundation develops and manages, often in collaboration with partner organizations. At the same time, Goldenrod Foundation does have a small budget for grants. Grants provide financial support to non-profit organizations that leverage Goldenrod’s operating projects, or employ strategies to complement its mission.
The Goldenrod Foundation does not have staff to review or process unsolicited proposals.
