William T. Grant Foundation

The William T. Grant Foundation supports research to improve the lives of young people ages 5-25 in the United States. The Foundation's grantmaking centers on research that has the potential to advance theory, build empirical evidence, and improve policy and practice. We are currently funding programs, policies, and practices that reduce inequality in youth outcomes, and strategies that improve the use of research evidence in ways that benefit youth. Throughout its 80 year history, the Foundation has awarded grants to prominent researchers yielding research that has been pivotal in improving outcomes for youth and the systems in which they develop. The Foundation's assets were valued at $342 million in December 2017. Our annual budget is in excess of $18 million. The Foundation is based in New York City and has a full-time staff of 19.
