The Tony Robbins Foundation provides grants to organizations that align with its mission to empower individuals and improve the quality of life for those often forgotten. Dedicated to solving challenges and driving action within the global community, the foundation awards monetary donations to nonprofits that reflect its values and focus areas. The grant program operates on a rolling basis, allowing eligible organizations to apply year-round without fixed deadlines.
To initiate the grant process, interested organizations must submit an online Letter of Intent (LOI). The LOI must not exceed three pages and is submitted through the foundation's website. This step serves as a pre-screening phase; only those organizations whose LOIs are accepted will be invited to submit a full application. All submissions are reviewed by the foundation’s grant committee, and final decisions are made by the Board. If an LOI is declined, the organization may reapply in the next fiscal year.
Eligibility is limited to established nonprofit organizations. Applicants must have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status in the United States or equivalent government-recognized nonprofit status internationally. Additionally, organizations must have been operational for at least one fiscal year and must provide appropriate tax documentation. The foundation does not support individual requests, start-up costs for new entities, or organizations whose missions fall outside the foundation’s areas of focus.
The application process emphasizes mission alignment and demonstrated impact. While specific areas of focus are not itemized in the public materials, it is clear that organizations must operate within a framework that empowers communities, drives measurable change, and aligns with the foundation’s values.
Organizations that advance past the LOI stage will receive further instructions including formal application forms and submission deadlines. These full proposals are reviewed rigorously before final award determinations are made by the foundation’s Board. As the grant process is rolling, there is no fixed funding cycle, providing flexibility for eligible applicants to engage at any time during the year.
Ensure strong alignment with mission in the LOI; Only approved LOIs will move to the full application stage.
