The Heising-Simons Foundation’s program staff source potential partnerships through internal research, field convenings, and relationships within specific areas of work that best align with programmatic strategies. Due to limited capacity to field unsolicited requests, uninvited email inquiries and requests for proposals are discouraged. Occasionally, our programs will conduct an open request for proposals. These will be announced on our blog and on the specific program’s webpage (e.g., biannual Science program open call to support science gatherings and events).
If you have been invited to submit a letter of inquiry or a proposal to the Foundation, please contact your program officer for additional instructions, and view our For Invited Grantseekers webpage.
If you are a current grantee looking for report guidelines or other tools, visit our For Current Grantees webpage.
