Enterprise Mobility Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Enterprise Mobility Foundation prioritises the United States, alongside global giving, and funds environmental, health and human services, education, public and social benefits, military, disaster relief and arts causes.
- Most grants to organisations are small, typically between $1,500 and $10,000, with a median of $2,500, so a modest request is realistic; the one very large grant on record went to Charities Aid Foundation America, an intermediary it funds every year to regrant onward, and is not a guide for ordinary applicants.
- Nearly all of its grant dollars go to organisations it had already funded in the previous two years, so this looks like a relationship-led funder rather than one that is easy to break into cold.
- The IRS filing gives no deadlines for applications.
- For its community grants, applications must be made by a team member on behalf of a community nonprofit with which they are actively involved, and applicants should also note its exclusions, which include organisations without 501(c)(3) public charity status or equivalent, groups founded or controlled by employees or their immediate family, pass-through donation vehicles, tuition assistance, event-related costs such as sponsorships or tickets, man-made disaster relief, and requests for ongoing operating or salary costs.
