Heineman Foundation Guidelines for Proposals

The purpose of the Heineman Foundation is to provide seed money to start-up projects and new projects within existing organizations for a maximum of three to five years. Preference will be given to organizations that we have not previously funded. The average range of our donations is $20,000.00 to $50,000.00, per annum. An organization must have 501(c)3 status and upload copies of corresponding IRS documents to the online application form in order for the application to be considered.

The Heineman Foundation is a family run organization, now in its fourth generation. The Foundation's Directors maintain a close relationship with each funded project. Due to this family tradition, the Directors can only follow up on projects within their geographical location. It is, therefore, very important that all applicants check, before submitting a proposal, that they are within the following States:

Connecticut
Florida
Illinois
Maine
Massachusetts
Montana
New Hampshire
New York
North Carolina

Although applicants from other areas are not excluded, applicants from those areas should be aware that their chances for funding are remote.

Applications/Proposals must be submitted no later than 5 PM eastern time, September 1st to be considered for funding for that year.

The Foundation's general areas of interest are the following (in no particular order):

Programs that enable economically challenged women to enter and remain in the workplace
- On site day care centers for women in the workplace
- Job training programs
- Language and leadership skills
