The David and Lucile Packard Foundation is a private foundation. We accept grant proposals only for charitable, educational, or scientific purposes, primarily from tax-exempt, charitable organizations. We do not provide funding for projects that benefit specific individuals or that serve religious purposes.

Application instructions for each subprogram that accepts letters of inquiry or proposals are available at the links at left. Before preparing a letter of inquiry or grant proposal, please carefully review the guidelines and geographic limitations for your area of interest.
