Carnegie Corporation of New York provides grants for projects that fit within our programs' strategies and funding priorities and that advance the mission of the foundation "to promote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge."

The foundation awards the majority of its grants to support public agencies, universities and public charities that are tax-exempt under section 501 (c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

The foundation's charter allows for up to 7.4 percent of its income to fund nonprofit organizations based in countries that are or have been members of the British Commonwealth.

Grants are made to nonprofit organizations outside of the U.S. only if they have demonstrated they are equivalent to as a U.S. 501 (c)(3).

Our aim is to invest in innovative projects that can have measurable impact and can create meaningful, transformative change.
