Eligibility for Institutional Grants

To be considered for a Tinker Institutional Grant, a proposal must be submitted by an organizational entity with 501(c)3 charitable status (or its equivalent, if the organization is based outside the United States).  The project/program for which funding is sought must be geographically focused on Latin America.

The Foundation will not consider requests for:
a.    annual fund-raising appeals for organizations such as the United Way;
b.    support for building construction or major equipment purchases;
c.    individual research;
d.    funding of health or medical issues;
e.    production costs for film, television and radio projects;
f.    arts and humanities projects including art museum collections and exhibits; or
g.    endowments.

Note: The Foundation will not consider new funding requests from an organization until previously funded projects have been completed and the final reports have been received and approved.
