The Sunstone Foundation is accepting 2027 applications from eligible U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations for program and project funding aligned with education, equality, and mental health. This is an applicant-facing charitable grant, not a purchasing contract. The General Grant application is distinct from the foundation’s Operational Support application.
Funding available to individual applicants
No universal individual award maximum is published. The foundation gives historical guidance based on annual organizational operating budget: nonprofits below $100,000 have typically requested $1,000 to $5,000; below $1 million, $1,000 to $25,000; and above $1 million, $1,000 to $100,000. These are guidance ranges, not automatic caps or promised awards. Organizations seeking more than $100,000 are instructed to contact the foundation for additional information before board consideration.

No universal match requirement or reimbursement schedule is published in the public program instructions.
