How large are Peninsula Endowment Innovation Grants?

For any given grant cycle, the Peninsula Endowment may award one or more, one-time, nonrecurring Innovation Grants between $5,000 and $50,000. Qualifying prospective grantees may request only 1 Innovation Grant per grant cycle. In the IGA, prospective grantees are requested to identify the specific dollar amount they are requesting, and submit a basic budget identifying how the requested funds would be spent.

Note that no priority will be given to the amount of funds requested. That is, larger grant requests will not be considered more or less favorably than smaller grant requests. Much more important than the dollar amount requested is the innovative nature of the project, the benefits to be achieved by participants in the project, the due diligence performed by the applicant that persons with visual disabilities will actually benefit from the project, the financial needs of the applicant organization, and how the grant funds will be used.
