About The Grant
MetLife Foundation is committed to driving inclusive economic mobility for people on low income. In its third year, the Community Impact Grant Program has expanded globally to support partners across MetLife’s regions, which include the United States, Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East.
The Community Impact Grant Program will support four (4) focus areas to address acute needs disproportionately impacting low-income and historically marginalized communities.
The Community Impact Grant Program (CIGP) will award grants to programs
that center on one of four (4) focus areas:
• Food Security: Solutions to address access to healthy food options for people on low-income and the working poor. Examples include programs offered by food pantries and/or soup kitchens.
• Mental Well-Being: Solutions to address the growing demand for mental health services. Examples include programs that increase access to quality care, foster social connections for seniors and/or establish peer support networks.
• Environmental Sustainability: Solutions to address environmental challenges. Examples include programs that improve access to clean air and water, reduce waste through recycling and composting and/or disaster preparedness and mitigation.
• Vibrant Communities: Solutions that contribute to a vibrant and thriving community through access to arts and culture and physical well-being. Examples include programs that increase exposure to arts, sports and physical activity and/or neighborhood beautification projects.
The Community Impact Grant Program will provide one year of programmatic funding support. Grant recipients are required to report on progress of their work at the end of the grant period.
MetLife Foundation does not review unsolicited proposals for partnership. If your organization is interested in potentially partnering with the MetLife Foundation, please complete the information form.
