Guidelines

The VWR Foundation looks forward to reviewing applications that align with our mission. Any organizations seeking grants must be an established 501(c)(3) for a minimum of 5 years, but prefer ten years or longer. During its inception year, the VWR Foundation will be focusing its efforts on funding U.S. based organizations with grants ranging from $1,000 to $10,000.

The VWR Foundation will not make contributions to:

• Individuals
• Organizations whose primary purpose is to influence legislation
• Political causes, candidates, organizations or campaigns
• Startup ventures
• Fundraising activities and events such as golf outings, luncheons or galas

Applications submitted to the VWR Foundation will be reviewed on a quarterly basis by the Board.
