The Hearst Foundations comprise The Hearst Foundation, Inc. and The William Randolph Hearst Foundation, which share funding guidelines and staff. They support U.S.-based nonprofits in culture, education, health, and social service, with the aim of helping people from all backgrounds lead healthy, productive, and inspiring lives. Support can include programs, capital projects, scholarships, research, and—in limited circumstances—endowments.
Applicants select one primary program area and describe the population they intend to serve. The Foundations consider an initiative’s impact and the applicant’s financial position during review. Established programs must demonstrate long-term impact on the populations they serve.
