The Bradán Lane Foundation is established to contribute to public charities which support underprivileged youth through technical education, academic learning, occupational skills training, and apprenticeships.
Special consideration is given to programs with tran-disciplinary approaches and addressing the needs of youth, who are disadvantaged economically, geographically, culturally, environmentally, or through gender conformity expectations. The foundation is in support of programs which help young people become productive, healthy adults.
Our giving strategy focuses on three categories:
Funding uses: Individuals and team focused education, skills development, and project centric learning
The Bradán Lane Foundation provides grants to public charities to conduct activities which align with the foundation's described strategy. The Bradán Lane Foundation does not conduct these activities directly.
The Bradán Lane Foundation provides grants to public charities to conduct activities within their facilities or geographic area. The Bradán Lane Foundation does not provide facilities or infrastructure for the public charities' work.
Grant amount: US $1,000 - US $5,000
Applications are accepted year-round. There are two grant periods:
Incomplete applications will not be considered. The foundation will attempt to notify applicants of errors or omissions in applications, however there is no guarantee the notification will allow for resubmitting within the same grant period.
Applications which fall within the 'ineligibility' list will not be considered
Applications are reviewed by the board of directors. In the event of a larger volume of applications than may reasonably be reviewed by the board, the board will select an independent advisory group to review applications and promote the most appropriate candidates to the board for review and consideration.
The board of directors has the final decision of grant offers.
Prior to grant distribution, each grant will be required to complete and sign the grant agreement. Additionally, each grant recipient will be required to submit records of how the funds have been used and the impact on the grant proposal goals along with their own assessment of success or failure to meet the goals.
The grant application form is expected to be available for download in the second half of 2022.
