The Batchelor Foundation Grant

The Batchelor Foundation, a private philanthropic organization based in Miami Beach, Florida, supports nonprofits that focus on improving the lives of children, protecting animals, and preserving the environment. The foundation emphasizes programs with clearly defined, measurable outcomes and has a preference for programmatic grants, although capital grants are occasionally considered. This grant opportunity is open only to nonprofits that have previously received funding from the Batchelor Foundation. These organizations must be recognized as 501(c)(3) public charities and be actively registered with Florida’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. New applicants are not accepted unless invited, and unsolicited letters of intent are not considered. Grants are generally awarded for a one-year term. Both spendable and endowment grants are available, and at the foundation's discretion, a matching component may be included. Endowment grants are further governed by institutional fund guidelines and applicable state laws. The foundation does not support individuals, startups, events, or operating deficits. Applications follow a structured quarterly cycle. For the third quarter, Letters of Intent must be submitted between May 15 and July 15, with full applications due by July 31 if invited. Notifications are typically made in September. The grant program is recurring, with the next cycle expected to open in August 2025. Contact information is not listed publicly, but all applications must be submitted through the foundation's online portal. Early submission of Letters of Intent is encouraged to allow sufficient time for completing the full application if selected.
