Summary

History of Funding

Since 2000, the Nationwide Foundation has contributed more than $670,000,000 to nonprofit organizations across the country that work to meet crucial needs in communities with a significant presence of Nationwide associates.

Additional Information

The Foundation will not fund the following:

• Organizations that, in their constitution discriminate against a person or group on the basis of race, color, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, disability, genetic information, religion, national origin, ancestry, veteran status, marital status or any other characteristic protected by law.
• Veterans, labor, religious or fraternal groups (except when these groups provide needed services to the community at large);
• Groups or organizations that will re-grant the foundation's gifts to other organizations or individuals (except United Way);
• Public or private primary or secondary schools;
• Athletic events or teams, bands and choirs;
• Individuals for any purpose;
• Lobbying activities;
• Fund-raising events such as walk-a-thons, telethons, and sponsorships;
• Debt-reduction or retirement campaigns;
• Endowment campaigns; and
• Requests to support travel

As a general policy, because the foundation matches associates' United Way contributions dollar for dollar, organizations that receive support from United Way are ineligible to receive general operating support. But they may be considered for project and capital grants. Also, Nationwide does not generally fund national organizations, unless the applicant is a local branch or chapter providing direct services.
