Grant Procedure 


Foundation application process and critera. 


Apply for a Grant

The Steelcase Foundation makes grants to IRS-certified non-profit organizations in areas where Steelcase manufacturing plants are located (Grand Rapids, Michigan; City of Industry, California; Athens, Alabama; and Markham, Ontario.) We prefer not to be the sole support for a program. Also, we do not provide grants to individuals or to organizations that:

  • Discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex, disability, or national origin.
  • Have received a Steelcase foundation grant within the past 12 months.
  • Request support for a conference or seminar.
  • Request support for religious programs (nonsectarian programs for humanitarian purposes are eligible for consideration.)

Application Process

To obtain a Steelcase Foundation grant application, send us a letter on your letterhead, signed by your organization's chief executive officer. Include the following items in your letter:

  • Description of your organization or project
  • Expected results of the project
  • Amount of grant funds requested
  • Copy of your IRS 501(c )(3) non-profit certification

Send your letter to:
The Steelcase Foundation
P.O. Box 1967 GH-4E
Grand Rapids, MI 49501-1967

If your proposal meets our grant criteria, we will send you a more detailed application form.
