T. ROWE PRICE FOUNDATION

Partnering for social good
and enhancing community life.

T. Rowe Price's community investments aim to support the growth of strong nonprofit leaders, organizations, and nonprofit networks. We do this by harnessing our collective power to support our nonprofit partners wholistically, as we aim to expand opportunities, ​enrich lives and ​enable equitable solutions ​to help lift people and communities.

 

The T. Rowe Price Foundation was founded in 1981 and has since given over $182.3M USD in direct grants and matching gift contributions. T. Rowe Price is committed to advancing community goals and creating positive change in locations where T. Rowe Price associates live and work.

Grants

Through our community investments, we support the advancement of community leaders, community organizations and community networks.

For most grants, our team will approach an organization directly to invite them to submit a grant proposal. Throughout the year we also review unsolicited grant proposals that align to our giving areas. Our grants are unrestricted for general operating purposes to help expand an organizations’ mission and ability to do their important work. Our funding primarily supports organizations in Baltimore as well as in Colorado Springs, San Francisco and New York that have an approved nonprofit status [Internal Revenue Service 501(c)(3) sections 509(a)(1), 509(a)(2) and qualifying 509(a)(3) supporting organizations] or that are fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3) public charity. 

The following steps outline the grant making process: 

Get to know each other

Grant proposals

Submit a grant application proposal. Note: Most grants are invitation only; however, we do review unsolicited proposals. Join our mailing list to stay connected to additional opportunities where we can partner

Reporting and Learning

Each grant applicant completes a short reflection about the grant, including key areas of learning. Reporting requirements vary depending on the grant size and scope.
