ADC Foundation (LOI, then full proposal)
The ADC Foundation makes direct grants to two strategic focus areas: mathematics and science education, and nonprofit access to technology. Although the Foundation will continue to match ADC employee gifts to a wide spectrum of types of nonprofits and causes, the foundation will consider grant requests only in the following two areas:

• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education - Grants to organizations whose primary mission impacts K-12 or higher education, for projects where the aim is systemic improvements in the teaching or learning of mathematics and science or enhancements to the "pipeline" for the preparation of students for work in technology-oriented industry.
• Access to Technology - Grants to organizations where the proposed project serves to promote nonprofit access to technology by providing the nonprofit sector with competitive computing or telecommunications technologies, with the end goal of using technology tools to improve service delivery and enhance sector capacity.
