Information for Grant Seekers

The Cheng Health Foundation, Inc. makes grants to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation does not make grants to individuals. As a "public charity" under the laws of the United States, we are required to follow certain rules and procedures in making grants to charitable organizations. These rules and procedures are established by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), the US government department which has oversight over the tax matters of nonprofit organizations. There are different rules that must be followed depending on the type of organization you are, and where you are located:

For US Grant Seekers For grant seekers within the US, we generally will consider only those organizations that are that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We do not award grants to individuals. Grant applications for US organizations can be found here. >>

For Grant Seekers outside the US For grant seekers outside the US, the Foundation must determine if the grant seeker "qualifies" as a US "public charity". To that end, the Foundation has developed an application packet for non-US grants, which must be completed in full. Grant applications for organizations outside the US can be found here. >>
