Analog Devices Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests or proposals, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; the filing says employees are encouraged to propose local charitable organisations, so a link to someone at the company is the route to test.
- Your work should fit its themes of environmental protection, education access and social change, and the foundation does not fund religious organisations, political organisations, individuals, or organisations that do not comply with Analog Devices' non-discrimination policy.
- Most of its grants are small: about 8 in 10 fall between $51 and $2,100, and the median is about $300, so a modest request fits better than a large one.
- Around 78% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had already funded in earlier filings, so existing grantees make up much of its giving and a first approach should be made with that in mind.
- Its stated geographic priority is around the world, with its focus on the communities where its employees live and work.
