The LEGO Foundation prioritizes partners working in crisis and humanitarian settings, special educational needs (especially Autism and ADHD), and systemic education improvement. They primarily approach partners themselves rather than accepting unsolicited applications.

YOUR REAL ODDS

Open competitions are rare and posted publicly; most funding goes to organizations the Foundation proactively seeks out.

The Foundation acknowledges many qualified organizations exist but cannot fund all of them. Your best path in is visibility through their social channels, where they post occasional open calls.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Follow LEGO Foundation on social channels and watch their website for open calls — Ongoing

  2. Apply or express interest when an open competition is posted — Varies by call

  3. If no open call exists, ensure your organization is publicly visible and mission-aligned to be considered for proactive outreach — Ongoing

WORTH KNOWING

The Foundation explicitly states they reach out to potential partners whose work closely matches their mission — building a strong public profile around play-based learning, neurodivergent education, or crisis settings increases your chances of being found by them.
