Here is today’s featured foundation.

Dr. Scholl Foundation

Website: https://www.drschollfoundation.org/

Mission & Purpose: To provide financial assistance to organizations committed to improving our world. Established by the founder of the foot care company, the foundation supports innovation, practicality, and hard work.

Broad Funding Guidelines: This is a national foundation (U.S.-based) that funds a very broad range of causes, including Education, Social Service, Healthcare, and Culture. They accept Letters of Inquiry (LOI) annually between October and January. They are a "generalist" funder, meaning they are open to many different types of requests from established nonprofit organizations.

Featured Opportunity: Because their guidelines are so broad, they are an excellent source of general support or project funding for established nonprofits that don't fit into a niche "box." They value practical, common-sense solutions to community problems.

Recommendation: An established mid-sized nonprofit (like a private school, a hospital foundation, or a social service agency) anywhere in the U.S. that needs a reliable one-year grant for a practical, well-defined project.
