Foundational Grant Giving
How to Give
Foundations — private, corporate, and community alike — share and invest in the Easterseals mission to help children and adults with disabilities or from military backgrounds. Foundational grants provide large-sum financial support to spearhead Easterseals’ holistic programs and innovative strategies. Explore how to give through Grant Awards, Financial Gifts, and the Presidents’ Council.
Our Development team can help you make the most of your contribution. Contact Sharon Pippert, Associate Director of Development Operations, spippert@eseal.org, or York Bradshaw, Senior Director of Grants and Foundation Relations, ybradshaw@eseal.org.
Grant Awards
Our experienced grant writers follow a streamlined grant application and reporting process. Foundations can be assured that their grant award meets Easterseals’ greatest needs and has the most significant impact possible. In addition to financial gifts, grants may also be donations of big-ticket items, expertise, or services. One-time grants or grants over a period of time are equally encouraged. We offer public recognition and naming opportunities for the most generous awards.
