Hearst Foundations Grants
William Randolph Hearst Foundation
Hearst Foundations' Mission
The Hearst Foundations identify and fund outstanding nonprofits to ensure that people of all backgrounds in the United States have the opportunity to build healthy, productive and inspiring lives.
Hearst Foundations' Goals
The Foundations seek to achieve their mission by funding approaches that result in:
- Improved health and quality of life
- Access to high quality educational options to promote increased academic achievement
- Arts and sciences serving as a cornerstone of society
- Sustainable employment and productive career paths for adults
- Stabilizing and supporting families
Funding Priorities
The Hearst Foundations support well-established nonprofit organizations that address significant issues within their major areas of interests – culture, education, health and social service – and that primarily serve large demographic and/or geographic constituencies. In each area of funding, the Foundations seek to identify those organizations achieving truly differentiated results relative to other organizations making similar efforts for similar populations. The Foundations also look for evidence of sustainability beyond their support.
Culture
The Hearst Foundations fund cultural institutions that offer meaningful programs in the arts and sciences, prioritizing those which enable engagement by young people and create a lasting and measurable impact. The Foundations also fund select programs nurturing and developing artistic talent.
Types of Support: Program, capital and, on a limited basis, general and endowment support
Education
The Hearst Foundations fund educational institutions demonstrating uncommon success in preparing students to thrive in a global society. The Foundations’ focus is largely on higher education, but they also fund innovative models of early childhood and K-12 education, as well as professional development.
Types of Support: Program, scholarship, capital and, on a limited basis, general and endowment support
Health
The Hearst Foundations assist leading regional hospitals, medical centers and specialized medical institutions providing access to high-quality healthcare for low-income populations. In response to the shortage of healthcare professionals necessary to meet the country’s evolving needs, the Foundations also fund programs designed to enhance skills and increase the number of practitioners and educators across roles in healthcare. Because the Foundations seek to use their funds to create a broad and enduring impact on the nation’s health, support for medical research and the development of young investigators is also considered.
Types of Support: Program, capital and, on a limited basis, endowment support
Social Service
The Hearst Foundations fund direct-service organizations that tackle the roots of chronic poverty by applying effective solutions to the most challenging social and economic problems. The Foundations prioritize supporting programs that have proven successful in facilitating economic independence and in strengthening families. Preference is also given to programs with the potential to scale productive practices in order to reach more people in need.
Types of Support: Program, capital and general support

National Trust Preservation Funds
National Trust for Historic Preservation
Guidelines
Grants from National Trust Preservation Funds (NTPF) are intended to encourage preservation at the local level by supporting on-going preservation work and by providing seed money for preservation projects. These grants help stimulate public discussion, enable local groups to gain the technical expertise needed for preservation projects, introduce the public to preservation concepts and techniques, and encourage financial participation by the private sector.
A small grant at the right time can go a long way and is often the catalyst that inspires a community to take action on a preservation project. Grants generally start at $2,500 and range up to $5,000. The selection process is very competitive.

ACF Competitive Grant Program: Heath; Human Services; Economic & Workforce Development
Albuquerque Community Foundation
NOTE: Presentations are no longer required as part of the grant application process.
Annual Grant Cycle
Each year, Albuquerque Community Foundation awards grants through an annual grant cycle. Awards are granted to organizations providing services that support residents in the four-county Greater Albuquerque Metropolitan Area (Bernalillo, Sandoval, Torrance and Valencia). The Annual Grant Cycle is supported by over 90 endowment funds. In order to respond to the community’s specific needs, distributions from the funds are pooled and aligned directly with the Foundation’s fields of interest.
Our ongoing work in grantmaking, asset development and community leadership is focused on supporting organizations that meet the basic needs of our community and work toward creating lasting positive change.
As a result, we identified a common theme in the Annual Grant Cycle: providing access to economic opportunities. Like many major cities, Albuquerque faces many complex issues. The root cause of many of these issues is the inequity of economic opportunity. By integrating this theme into our grantmaking, we aim to move the needle towards prosperity for more Albuquerque residents.
Strategic Grant Lens
Access to economic opportunities could apply (but is not limited) to the following areas:
- Providing and supporting economic opportunities for individuals living in the four-county Greater Albuquerque Metropolitan Area (Bernalillo, Sandoval, Torrance and Valencia). This may include life-skills and career development programs, educational opportunities and/or social services programs that create opportunities for community members.
- Providing and supporting opportunities that will bolster the economic growth of Albuquerque. This may include strengthening access to art and culture; increasing workforce development and job creation to bolster economic growth; and/or ensuring the surrounding natural environment remains a preserved, protected, and valued aspect of the city.
This two-pronged approach to providing access to economic opportunities holistically addresses economic inequities and supports our city’s collective economic growth and development.
Grantmaking Fields-of-Interest:
Economic and Workforce Development:
Economic & Workforce Development grants will support intentional, inventive efforts to ensure a strong local economy. This field promotes social, economic and environmental growth by supporting innovative support systems for entrepreneurs and the state’s workforce.
Health:
Health grants have two focus areas; 1.) meeting the mental and behavioral health of individuals in the Greater Albuquerque Metropolitan Area and 2.) supporting dental health needs of at-risk individuals. Populations served through mental/behavioral and dental health programs may range from early childhood to seniors.
Human Services:
Human Services grants serve as “springboard” grants to help individuals transition to more self-sustainable lifestyles. Organizations that serve one or more of the following: parental or guardian skills training, teen pregnancy, job training, independent living and children aging out of foster care particularly stand out in the grantmaking process.
Types of Grants – Operating Grants
In an effort to ensure that local nonprofits have the flexibility they need to support the community, all grants in the Annul Grant Cycle will be general operating grants. This means, funding will be unrestricted and grantees may use the funds as needed throughout the year.
Operating Support Grants
The Foundation considers requests for General Operating Support to be awarded as core support or unrestricted grants. Organizations may use operating grants to cover day-to-day activities or ongoing expenses such as administrative salaries, utilities, office supplies, technology maintenance as well as for project costs, capital, technology purchases and professional development.
Scope of Funding
As a short-term funder providing relatively small grants, award sizes will be determined based on organizational budget, rubric score and available funding.
Awards range in size from $10,000 - $20,000.
Max and Victoria Dreyfus Foundation Grant
Max and Victoria Dreyfus Foundation

- Sustainable employment and productive career paths for adults
- Stabilizing and supporting families
Funding Priorities
The Hearst Foundations support well-established nonprofit organizations that address significant issues within their major areas of interests – culture, education, health and social service – and that primarily serve large demographic and/or geographic constituencies. In each area of funding, the Foundations seek to identify those organizations achieving truly differentiated results relative to other organizations making similar efforts for similar populations. The Foundations also look for evidence of sustainability beyond their support.
The Hearst Foundations fund cultural institutions that offer meaningful programs in the arts and sciences, prioritizing those which enable engagement by young people and create a lasting and measurable impact. The Foundations also fund select programs nurturing and developing artistic talent.
Types of Support: Program, capital and, on a limited basis, general and endowment support
The Hearst Foundations fund educational institutions demonstrating uncommon success in preparing students to thrive in a global society. The Foundations’ focus is largely on higher education, but they also fund innovative models of early childhood and K-12 education, as well as professional development.
Types of Support: Program, scholarship, capital and, on a limited basis, general and endowment support
The Hearst Foundations assist leading regional hospitals, medical centers and specialized medical institutions providing access to high-quality healthcare for low-income populations. In response to the shortage of healthcare professionals necessary to meet the country’s evolving needs, the Foundations also fund programs designed to enhance skills and increase the number of practitioners and educators across roles in healthcare. Because the Foundations seek to use their funds to create a broad and enduring impact on the nation’s health, support for medical research and the development of young investigators is also considered.
Types of Support: Program, capital and, on a limited basis, endowment support
The Hearst Foundations fund direct-service organizations that tackle the roots of chronic poverty by applying effective solutions to the most challenging social and economic problems. The Foundations prioritize supporting programs that have proven successful in facilitating economic independence and in strengthening families. Preference is also given to programs with the potential to scale productive practices in order to reach more people in need.
Types of Support: Program, capital and general support

NOTE: Presentations are no longer required as part of the grant application process.
Annual Grant Cycle
Each year, Albuquerque Community Foundation awards grants through an annual grant cycle. Awards are granted to organizations providing services that support residents in the four-county Greater Albuquerque Metropolitan Area (Bernalillo, Sandoval, Torrance and Valencia). The Annual Grant Cycle is supported by over 90 endowment funds. In order to respond to the community’s specific needs, distributions from the funds are pooled and aligned directly with the Foundation’s fields of interest.
Our ongoing work in grantmaking, asset development and community leadership is focused on supporting organizations that meet the basic needs of our community and work toward creating lasting positive change.
As a result, we identified a common theme in the Annual Grant Cycle: providing access to economic opportunities. Like many major cities, Albuquerque faces many complex issues. The root cause of many of these issues is the inequity of economic opportunity. By integrating this theme into our grantmaking, we aim to move the needle towards prosperity for more Albuquerque residents.
Strategic Grant Lens
Access to economic opportunities could apply (but is not limited) to the following areas:
- Providing and supporting economic opportunities for individuals living in the four-county Greater Albuquerque Metropolitan Area (Bernalillo, Sandoval, Torrance and Valencia). This may include life-skills and career development programs, educational opportunities and/or social services programs that create opportunities for community members.
- Providing and supporting opportunities that will bolster the economic growth of Albuquerque. This may include strengthening access to art and culture; increasing workforce development and job creation to bolster economic growth; and/or ensuring the surrounding natural environment remains a preserved, protected, and valued aspect of the city.
This two-pronged approach to providing access to economic opportunities holistically addresses economic inequities and supports our city’s collective economic growth and development.
Grantmaking Fields-of-Interest:
Economic and Workforce Development:
Economic & Workforce Development grants will support intentional, inventive efforts to ensure a strong local economy. This field promotes social, economic and environmental growth by supporting innovative support systems for entrepreneurs and the state’s workforce.
Health:
Health grants have two focus areas; 1.) meeting the mental and behavioral health of individuals in the Greater Albuquerque Metropolitan Area and 2.) supporting dental health needs of at-risk individuals. Populations served through mental/behavioral and dental health programs may range from early childhood to seniors.
Human Services:
Human Services grants serve as “springboard” grants to help individuals transition to more self-sustainable lifestyles. Organizations that serve one or more of the following: parental or guardian skills training, teen pregnancy, job training, independent living and children aging out of foster care particularly stand out in the grantmaking process.
Types of Grants – Operating Grants
In an effort to ensure that local nonprofits have the flexibility they need to support the community, all grants in the Annul Grant Cycle will be general operating grants. This means, funding will be unrestricted and grantees may use the funds as needed throughout the year.
Operating Support Grants
The Foundation considers requests for General Operating Support to be awarded as core support or unrestricted grants. Organizations may use operating grants to cover day-to-day activities or ongoing expenses such as administrative salaries, utilities, office supplies, technology maintenance as well as for project costs, capital, technology purchases and professional development.
Scope of Funding
As a short-term funder providing relatively small grants, award sizes will be determined based on organizational budget, rubric score and available funding.
Awards range in size from $10,000 - $20,000.

Summary
Con Alma Health Foundation (CAHF) provides grants to eligible nonprofits working to improve health and advance health equity for people who live in New Mexico. Our aim is to ensure that New Mexico’s diverse communities have fair opportunities to lead healthy lives.
Six Priority Areas
Con Alma prioritizes efforts that will impact many individuals within a network, community, or communities – rather than focusing on 1:1 direct services to individuals.
Access
CAHF supports proposals that focus on access to health and healthcare as well as improving the health status and quality of life for the uninsured and medically underserved in New Mexico.
Culturally Appropriate Services
CAHF supports efforts that aim to reduce health disparities, particularly for rural and tribal communities, immigrant families, and people of color. We support traditional and community-based approaches to health and efforts that support the hardest to reach individuals and communities in New Mexico.
Evaluation/Research
CAHF supports new solutions to old problems and efforts that have the courage to risk failure. This may include data analysis, support of policy and advocacy, and/or the creation of new knowledge.
Health Promotion
CAHF supports efforts that define health broadly and emphasize education, prevention, and personal empowerment.
Policy
CAHF supports consumer participation in health policy formation and advocacy efforts to improve the health and well-being of people who live in New Mexico.
Workforce Development
CAHF supports the development of professionals who reflect the cultural and linguistic diversity of communities in New Mexico. This includes individuals who are participating in traditional as well as non-traditional training and educational opportunities.
