Description
The International Monetary Fund’s Grant Program supports charitable organizations serving people and communities in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Administered by the IMF Grant Review Committee, it combines partnerships with annual monetary grants, focusing primarily on fostering economic independence through education and economic development.
The program supports community services rather than capital or infrastructure projects and fundraising events. Faith-based organizations may seek support for independently run secular programs that provide needed social services to the community at large without discrimination or religious conditions. This charitable grantmaking is part of IMF Giving Together and is separate from the IMF’s lending and economic policy responsibilities.
