The Looking Out Foundation amplifies the impact of music by empowering those without a voice. From neighborhood to nation, we help fund causes and organizations that often go unnoticed.

Grants to organizations are made to tax-exempt public charities under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Program interests include, but are not limited to: LGBTQIA2S+ support, disadvantaged youth, public health, women, the environment, the arts, the hungry and the unhoused.

Please note that the Looking Out Foundation receives far more requests each grant cycle than it can support. The average grant allocation is between $5,000 and $25,000.

Grant decisions are normally made twice per year in May and November. Applicants seeking a May decision must apply between October 15 and  January 15th. Applicants seeking a November decision must apply between April 15 and July 1. Applicants may not submit a proposal more than once in any twelve-month period.

To apply for funding please fill out our grant proposal cover sheet along with your proposal, budget, and proof of 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status (IRS determination letter).

All grant applications should be submitted via email in a single PDF to grants@lookingoutfoundation.org
