Apply for a Grant
The Calvin K. Kazanjian Economics Foundation is a small, non-profit private foundation with limited resources. The Kazanjian Foundation makes grants of $10,000 to $25,000 on average and expects to be one of several funders of a project. The Foundation will look most favorably at programs that match grants of support with funds from other organizations, learning institutions, universities, colleges, internal funds, and government sources. The Kazanjian Foundation does not support projects that are based outside of the United States and will not support overhead or indirect costs.
