Tips for Applicants
This organization is a direct service provider, not a typical grant-maker. Opportunities for partnership would likely involve program delivery, volunteer engagement, or corporate sponsorship rather than grant applications. Contact their intake lines for service access or volunteering opportunities.
Giving Philosophy
Rather than a traditional grant-making foundation, Foundation 61 operates direct service delivery programs providing residential rehabilitation for addiction recovery. They focus on holistic, long-term (6-month) live-in programs that address substance abuse and help recipients reintegrate into mainstream society.
