About this grant

The ZOOM Foundation is a family foundation that focuses its philanthropic investments on innovative change efforts with high potential for sustainable impact, particularly in education, the environment, and democracy. The environment priority states that the world must act now to stop and reverse climate change, and the foundation invests in science-based environmental policy and strategies toward that end. The foundation's stated approach is to partner with exceptional leaders who use a practical, entrepreneurial approach to innovation and change. Its other funding priorities are education equity, through transformative change at school, community and system levels, and democracy, through support for free and fair elections and work that strengthens the resiliency and responsiveness of political institutions. The page states that the foundation does not accept unsolicited inquiries or proposals, which indicates that grantmaking is by invitation rather than open application.
