The Owens Corning Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Owens Corning Foundation funds work in safe and efficient housing, basic shelter, basic health and education, so a project in one of these themes is the clearest fit.
- Its total giving in the year reported was $5,669,454 in grants paid, but no grant range is stated, so it is hard to judge what a typical award looks like; ask for what your project needs and let the foundation guide you on scale.
- There is no stated deadline, and the filing describes it as accepting applications submitted in writing, so approach when your proposal is ready rather than working to a cycle.
- No geographic focus is stated in the filing, so do not assume a particular area is required or excluded.
- Because so little is published on process or competitiveness, it is worth writing a clear, concise written application tied closely to the themes it names.
