QFI Grants
QFI’s philanthropic resources are allocated to specific projects and programs that fit our targeted areas of interest. Most grants are initiated by QFI and do not stem from unsolicited proposals. However, unsolicited proposals that fall within our areas of interest and are appropriate for our mission are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Please read our Mission Statement, details of our current programs, plans for future work, and our guidelines (downloaded as pdf) before submitting a letter of interest. Individuals and organizations seeking grants must apply through QFI's Grants Management Portal.
