Wellington Management Foundation

Whom do we fund? We recognize that economic privilege greatly increases educational opportunities. Therefore, we fund organizations that provide access for all youth in our communities to educational experiences that will enhance their chances for future success. - Eligible organizations must be within the greater metropolitan area of one of our US or Asia/Pacific offices, and approximately 70% of program participants must qualify as low income and be under the age of 26. (Organizations in the UK and Europe should refer to the firm’s UK Foundation.) - We fund organizations of various sizes but are primarily interested in those with budgets under US$2.5 million. We want to support organizations where our grants have a meaningful impact on youth, as well as the organization itself. - We fund newer as well as more established organizations. We prefer to fund organizations that can demonstrate the strength of their leadership, have a measurable track record of success, and can exhibit an upward organizational trajectory. - We fund religiously affiliated organizations that are inclusive of all participants regardless of religious background and beliefs. - Scholarship programs are not eligible for funding.
