William T. Grant Foundation

The William T. Grant Foundation is an American non-profit foundation that funds research in the social sciences, with a particular focus on reducing inequality in youth outcomes and improving the use of research evidence in public policy and practice settings. It also funds career development and mentoring plans for post-doctoral researchers in a wide variety of disciplines through its William T. Grant Scholars Program. The Foundation's Institutional Challenge Grant encourages universities to support long-term research-practice partnerships with youth-serving nonprofit organizations, and its Youth Service Improvement Grants provide funding for nonprofit organizations to strengthen the quality existing programs for young people in New York City.
