The Greif Foundation prioritizes partnerships that strengthen nonprofit capacity and build sustainable systems rather than providing short-term solutions. In accordance with The Greif Way, we strive to create a culture that supports the common good by using our financial and human resources to support charitable organizations focused on education, health, and basic needs.

Three Focus Areas of Giving:

• Education

We recognize that today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders. The Greif Foundation invests in career-driven higher education scholarship programs, learning and enrichment opportunities for primarily underserved students (K-12), and college and career/workforce readiness initiatives that prepare future leaders by inspiring curiosity, building critical skills, and preparing the next generation for brighter futures.

• Health

The Greif Foundation funds direct services and activities geared toward improving the quality of life for our neighbors. We support programs that promote community wellbeing and healthy bodies and minds, strengthening the quality of life for our neighbors and building more resilient communities globally.

• Basic Needs

Addressing food security, housing, emergency assistance (community response) and other basic needs, the Greif Foundation supports initiatives that provide critical resources and uplift those facing hardship in global communities where Greif operates. In addition, funding extends to support the work of non-profit organizations that bring sustainability to life to help underserved communities globally.

Does your organization align with our three areas of giving?

We encourage you to review the Greif Foundation’s focus areas as you consider applying for a grant. If your organization’s mission aligns with our funding priorities, we would be happy to review your request.
