The Foundation's general purpose is to carry on the vision of its founder, Samuel Rubin, whose life was dedicated to the pursuit of peace and justice and the search for an equitable reallocation of the world’s resources. The Foundation believes that these objectives can be achieved only through the fullest implementation of social, economic, political, civil and cultural rights for all the world’s people.

GRANTS

A brief proposal of no more than 5 pages, together with a budget and your IRS tax-exempt determination letter, may be sent to Ms. Lauranne Jones, Grants Administrator, at any time. No application form is provided. (mailto:lauranne@igc.org)

There are no geographic limitations, and we accept applications for general operating expenses as well as for specific projects within an organization. No grants are made to individuals or for building funds, endowments, or scholarships. The majority of the Foundation's grants are in the $5-10,000 range.

Applications forwarded by facsimile transmission or e-mail will not be given consideration, nor will telephone solicitations.

The Board of Directors normally meets three times a year. Application deadlines are the first Friday in January, September, and May.

The Foundation is small, so we are unable to acknowledge receipt of each proposal we receive. Applicants are notified of the Foundation’s decision within a week of its meetings, which are generally held at the end of February, June and October of each year.
