Apply for a Grant

Ploughshares Fund supports organizations and individuals working to build a safe, secure, nuclear weapons-free world. We place very few restrictions on our grantmaking.

Please read our Funding Priorities to determine if your project fits into our areas of interest.

Please note:

• There are no geographical limitations on our grants
• We  fund direct lobbying programs
• We make grants to individuals
• We do not fund the production of films, videos, books, art projects or the research and writing of academic dissertations

If you are still uncertain if your project will meet our areas of interest, please submit a brief email describing your project.  We will let you know if a full proposal is appropriate.

When to Apply

The Board of Directors meets three times each year to award grants. Ploughshares Fund staff may also consider requests for emergency funding on a discretionary basis.
