As we embark on developing a new strategic plan, the North Carolina GSK Foundation will close our online grant application portal from December 1, 2025 through July 1, 2026

We will provide an update on the status of our grant programs by July 1. Thank you for your continued interest in our work and mission.

The North Carolina GSK Foundation has provided Traditional grants of $25,000 and above to organizations working to help meet the educational needs of today’s society and future generations.

The Foundation’s new primary focus will be announced on or before July 1, 2026.

The Foundation makes grants only to nonprofit, charitable organizations and institutions exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; individuals may not apply.

Before the Foundation releases funds to an organization, the organization must review and approve a written agreement forwarded by the Board. Once the funds are released, successful applicants must submit written progress reports on an interim and final basis as specified in each grant agreement. Organizations that have received a previous grant from the Foundation must first meet all reporting requirements for an additional application to be considered.

The Foundation does not provide critiques of unsuccessful applications.

A Traditional grant inquiry must be submitted before moving to a full application. The Traditional grant inquiry will be reviewed and if the submitted inquiry falls within the Traditional grant guidelines, a second stage application will be made available via the application software. The second stage application must be submitted for review by the board of directors. Completing a second stage Traditional application does not guarantee grant approval.
