Deadlines: Grants awarded twice annually, in the Spring and Fall (typically May and November).

Restrictions: Grants from the Wharton Trust are usually one-time awards for amounts up to, but no larger than, $15,000. However, the Trustees and Advisors are willing to make larger multi-year grants for important acquisitions of land for conservation purposes. The Trust only makes grants to organizations as described in paragraph (1) or (2) of Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (i.e., a publicly supported charity or a governmental unit). The Trust does not make grants to individuals or organizations classified as a private foundation, nor will it pay grants to further investments; to fund construction; or pay for overhead. The Trust intends for each grant to make a difference, and typically does not fund long-term projects.
