Grant Guidelines

Effective June 1, 2007, The UPS Foundation no longer accepts or responds to unsolicited proposals.

As UPS celebrates its 100^th anniversary, the UPS approach to corporate giving is based on the understanding that healthy companies thrive in healthy communities, and UPS will grow by investing, not only in its business, but also in the communities it serves.

Our expanding global philanthropy brings with it a new and exciting landscape - and it also brings new operating challenges. As UPS grows and expands, so does its capacity to touch lives around the world. As a result, The UPS Foundation must align its assets - financial, human and knowledge - on our primary focus areas: increasing literacy, eliminating hunger, and promoting volunteerism. Given the Foundation's limited staff, we will no longer be able to consider or respond to the thousands of unsolicited proposals received annually.
