Grants from the The Puffin Foundation can only be awarded to US residents with a social security number, or to US based non-profits (including fiscal sponsors). While we do, on rare occasions, fund citizens/permanent residents for projects taking place outside of the United States, we recommend that you include some information regarding the accessibility of the project to people residing in the United States.
 

We are not able to provide status reports about submitted applications, so PLEASE do not call or email seeking such information. Applicants will be notified via email on a rolling basis from May 2026-July 2026 until all applications have received a determination.

​

The Puffin Foundation does not have the means to fund projects with budgets over $250,000, nor are organizations with an annual budget of more than $250,000 eligible for funding, even if the project budget is less than that. Puffin does not fund travel, education, or the writing or publishing of books, even if such expenses are intrinsic to the project. For more details see Section 2 on our FAQs. The maximum grant size is $3,500.

We thank you for your interest in applying for a Puffin grant.

Respectfully,

Gladys Miller-Rosenstein, Executive Director
