How We Help

The Mundt Foundation (TMF) achieves its mission by providing charitable grant awards (Grant Awards) and discretionary assistance awards (Assistance Awards) to tax-exempt organizations, the purposes and activities of which TMF finds to be consistent with its Mission Statement, and worthy of support.

Grant Award

Intended to support a "project," which can be a mission or ministry, construction or other undertaking.

Assistance Award

Intended to provide timely resources to address pressing needs in a responsive and efficient manner.

Grant Awards require a full application to and approval of the Board of Directors. TMF prefers to extend Grant Awards on a "matching funds" basis. TMF, however, will consider a Grant Award application involving special need where matching funds are not available, if the reason therefor is satisfactorily explained.

Organizations applying for a Grant Award (Applicants) are encouraged to develop other and additional sources for funds to support a particular project prior to submitting an application to TMF for a Grant Award.

TMF gives preference to Applicants seeking Grant Awards for unique projects, or for the non-recurring needs of missions or ministries. Nevertheless, TMF will consider making a Grant Award which is to be used as operating funds by the recipient under appropriate circumstances.

TMF attempts to support a variety of missions and/or ministries on the basis of the need therefor, and the availability of funds.

Potential Applicants can begin the process by visiting How to Apply and downloading our application packet, including the application, Mission Statement and General Policy Statement.

Assistance Awards bypass the usual application process, and should be taken directly to TMF via personal contact, teleconference, email, regular mail or any other form of contact.

The subject matter of an Assistance Award shall relate to an issue that is:

pressing in terms of need and/or time-sensitivity;
susceptible to an immediate (or very near-term), favorable outcome as a result of funding, and preferably a favorable outcome that — due to circumstances and time-sensitivity — significantly outweighs the size of the award;
not susceptible to misuse; and
consistent with the Mission Statement and General Policy Statement of TMF.

To initiate a conversation about an Assistance Award, contact us.

TMF extends grants to only those organizations which qualify as tax-exempt under § 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and which are not private foundations.

TMF will not extend any Grant Awards or Assistance Awards to any organization:

the net income of which, or any part thereof, would inure to the benefit of any individual or member;
the activities of which, in whole or significant part, involve promoting or otherwise attempting to influence legislation or participating in or intervening in (including the publishing or distributing of information or materials) any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for any public office;
to be used for the establishment or enhancement of an endowment; or
which is to be "passed through" to another organization or individual, or used for the benefit of any third party.
