The Sundt Foundation is 50 percent funded by contributions from Sundt employee-owners. Every dollar is matched by the company and then distributed through quarterly grants to qualified 501c3 nonprofits in our twelve giving communities.

Locations:

• Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico); 

• South (Texas, Alabama)

• West (California); 

• Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington);

• Intermountain (Utah, Idaho); 

• Southeast (Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky).

Employee-owner committees are responsible for Foundation grantmaking designated in the areas of:

• Youth Development

• Hunger & Nutrition

• Basic Needs & Social Services

• Military & Veterans

Grants are reviewed by committees that make recommendations to the board, which meets quarterly. 

The committee evaluates each grant application with the following considerations: 

• The organization’s mission is aligned under one of the Foundation's grantmaking areas.

• The organization has been in operation for at least one year. 

• The organization’s administrative expenses are less than 30% of its annual budget. 

• The organization has a prior annual operating budget/revenue of $100,000 or more.

• The organization has not received funding from the Sundt Foundation in the last year.

• The organization has a physical office or presence in the local giving area. 

• The funding request is between $2,500 - $25,000. 

• The application demonstrates a clear funding need for a specific program.

The deadlines to apply for grants are March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15.

Nonprofit organizations can receive funding every 12 months.
