Key takeaways
- If your work centres on preserving and sharing history, or on social and spiritual assistance, the foundation's recorded grants suggest a fit, though the filing says these are examples rather than a full account of its priorities.
- Its annual giving was $55,000 paid, and the filing gives no grant range or largest grant, so keep any request modest and do not assume a particular size.
- The filing names the CyberGrants common grant application as the route, so search for the foundation there and apply through it.
- The filing gives no deadline and says the foundation accepts applications, but it says nothing about how competitive or relationship-led the process is.
- No geographic focus is stated, so the filings' note that grants are mainly in Nevada and Florida should not be read as a limit on who may apply, and the filing states no eligibility exclusions.
Overview
Scott K Canepa Foundation is a US private foundation based in Reno, NV.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The available grant record shows two distinct kinds of charitable work rather than a stated programme of priorities. One award supported preservation and sharing of history through a history-preservation society; the other supported social and spiritual assistance through a separate organisation. The history-related purpose accounts for most of the recorded grant value, while the social and spiritual purpose occurs once. The filings do not state an overall geographic policy, eligibility rules or a preferred type of applicant. These examples describe the recorded grants, not a comprehensive account of the foundation's overall funding priorities.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Nevada and Florida.
How to apply
Applicants search for the foundation and submit an application through the CyberGrants common grant application.
