FUNDING TYPE

Grant

CAN YOU GET THIS?

This is for US nonprofits, not individual founders or for-profit businesses.

Truist Foundation funds innovative nonprofits aligned with two pillars: building career pathways to economic mobility (serving adults 18+ entering middle-skill jobs) and strengthening small businesses (access to capital, technical assistance, ecosystem support). General operating support, scholarships, and K-12 programs are explicitly excluded.

YOUR REAL ODDS

Highly competitive; Truist Foundation is a major bank foundation with selective, relationship-aware grantmaking.

The grant range of $5,000–$3,000,000 suggests tiered giving, but large awards are reserved for well-established programs. Capital campaign requests are only considered when the campaign is already 60% funded, signaling a preference for proven, viable initiatives.

WHAT IT TAKES

Confirm your org and program fit both the nonprofit requirement and one of the two pillars — 1–2 hours
Review the Foundation's stewardship policy and How to Apply video on their site — 1–2 hours
Submit application via the Truist Foundation grant portal — 2–5 hours

WORTH KNOWING

Truist Foundation explicitly funds program launches, curriculum development, equipment, and capital needs—not recurring operating costs. Frame your request around a discrete, sustainable initiative rather than general support to align with their stated priorities.
