Dr. Scholl Foundation Grant

Overview

The Dr. Scholl Foundation is dedicated to providing financial assistance to organizations committed to improving our world. Solutions to the problems of today’s world still lie in the values of innovation, practicality, hard work, and compassion. LOIs are reviewed on a rolling basis with a five-business day turnaround.
Grants are made annually after an extensive review of the application by the staff and all the directors of the Dr. Scholl Foundation.
Applications for grants are considered in the following areas:
•    Education
•    Social Service
•    Healthcare
•    Civic and Cultural
•    Environmental

The categories above are not intended to limit the interest of the Foundation from considering other worthwhile projects. In general, the Foundation guidelines are broad to give us flexibility in providing grants.

Only one application will be accepted from an institution per grant year. 

The application process contains two steps:

Step 1:  Applicants may submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) through the Dr. Scholl Foundation portal beginning October 1. LOIs are reviewed on a rolling basis with a five business day turnaround.

Step 2:  If an applicant’s LOI is approved, they will be invited to submit a grant application which is due in the Dr. Scholl Foundation portal by March 1 at 4:00 p.m. CST. Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible after an LOI is approved.
