The Yawkey Foundations are currently not accepting grant applications for organizations not previously funded by the Foundations. Since 1976, the Foundations have provided grants and support to more than 600 organizations that are eligible to apply for funding.

Yawkey Foundation I primarily supports the work of the Tom Yawkey Wildlife Center in Georgetown, South Carolina and other organizations whose work is consistent with the organizations the Yawkeys supported in their lifetimes.

Yawkey Foundation II will consider grant requests from organizations that demonstrate strong leadership, evidence the capacity to expend grants wisely, possess a strong and consistent track record of accomplishment, and have broad community support for their programs. Please review the Application Deadline Schedule below, Funding Criteria, Application Process, Reporting Process, and Annual Grants Reports before submitting a request.

Organizations are requested to limit their request to $25,000 unless otherwise directed.
