All Information

The Dr. Scholl Foundation supports charitable initiatives that improve education, social services, healthcare, civic and cultural life, and the environment. It funds organisations working to address practical community needs and create measurable benefits for the people they serve. A Nigerian nonprofit may be considered for international support, but the foundation makes most of its grants in the United States and generally considers non-US organisations where its directors have knowledge of the applicant. Therefore, Nigerian organisations should treat this as a selective opportunity and establish whether their work and organisational profile are a fit before preparing a full proposal. Funding is not intended for individuals or ordinary commercial businesses.
