Description
The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation provides grants to nonprofit organizations whose projects align with its guiding principles and current program interests, which include the advancement of American exceptionalism, free markets, limited government, and civil society. Applications are accepted only through the Foundation’s online grants management system and are reviewed in a two-step process: organizations first submit a virtual letter of inquiry (LOI), and if invited, proceed to a full application. All funding decisions are made by the Foundation’s board of directors, which meets quarterly.
