U.S. Venture Program Grants

The U.S. Venture/Schmidt Family Foundation (USV/SFF) offers grants to support disadvantaged communities and improve lives. They consider funding requests for programs, capital, or operational support. Eligible organizations must be public charities, preferably with 501(c)(3) status, and should have documented support from a U.S. Venture team member or shareholder. The foundation prioritizes projects in education, jobs, family support, physical and psychological health, and human services. Successful applications demonstrate long-term impact, financial stability, and broad funding support. The foundation does not fund individuals, political causes, or religious institutions with membership requirements.
