Location

With employees located around the globe, Motorola Solutions seeks to benefit the communities where it operates, and the Motorola Solutions Foundation prioritizes programs in these communities as well. The Foundation also prioritizes giving to universities from which Motorola Solutions recruits.

Eligibility Criteria

The Motorola Solutions Foundation team will then select those organizations that most align with the focus on first responder programming and technology/engineering education.
An organization can submit multiple applications. However, the Foundation will likely fund just one program per organization.
The Foundation prioritizes initiatives that directly engage participants in structured ongoing programming over multiple touchpoints, rather than a one-time event. The Foundation does not support event sponsorships through its annual grants program.
They don’t accept applications for multi-year grants. However, organizations may apply for a grant year after year.
