Nissan Foundation Invites Nonprofits To Submit Letters Of Intent For Upcoming 2025 Grant Cycle
The Nissan Foundation is now accepting Letters of Intent for its 2025 grant cycle. Nonprofit organisations that align with the foundation's goals are encouraged to submit their letters by 9 p.m. ET on November 4, 2024. The grants will support projects scheduled between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026.
Since its inception in 1992, the Nissan Foundation has distributed nearly $17 million to over 150 nonprofits. These organisations focus on promoting cultural awareness and understanding. Earlier this year, the foundation awarded $1.2 million to 44 nonprofits dedicated to fostering cultural understanding and appreciation of diversity.
The foundation's mission is to build community by valuing cultural diversity. Chandra Vasser, President of the Nissan Foundation, stated, "For 32 years, the Nissan Foundation has been singularly focused on awarding grants to nonprofits whose programs explore and celebrate cultural diversity and heritage." This commitment helps break down cultural barriers and highlights our shared humanity.
One notable grantee for 2024 is the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The museum received a grant for its Indigenous Identities: Here, Now & Always exhibition. Curated by Native American artist Juane Quick-to-See Smith from the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation, this exhibition features work from artists representing over 50 indigenous nations across North America.
Maura Reilly, PhD., Director of the Zimmerli Art Museum, expressed gratitude for the support: "The Nissan Foundation's support is key to Zimmerli's ongoing efforts to amplify historically unheard voices." The exhibition includes in-person and virtual events along with educational tools that provide a platform for contemporary Native American artists to share their stories globally.
