Deadline: 30-Sep-22
Applications are now open for the Higher Education Grant Program.
Due to overwhelming demand, they are unable to support all organizations interested in partnering – including many that are aligned with the criteria.
For example, P&G is particularly interested in efforts aligned with infant development, feminine hygiene, handwashing, oral care, programs creating clean and healthy places to live, etc. The process is highly competitive.
Funding Information
Typical awards are for one year only and range from $10,000-$20,000. Each college or university may apply for multiple grants supporting multiple programs but may not receive more than $50,000 in one year.
Program Conditions
- The Selection Committee will determine the winners, and all decisions are final. Due to the large quantity of applications received each cycle, they are unable to provide feedback on individual applications.
- The P&G Fund may suspend, change, or terminate this competition at any time, although grants being paid prior to any such action will be honored per the guidelines in place at the time the grant was first awarded.
- The P&G Fund has ultimate authority over this grant program, and its decisions with respect to any matter relating to this program are final.
