What We Support
Prince Charitable Trusts primarily awards funding through an invitation-only process to respect the time and capacity of our community partners. Before reaching out, we strongly encourage you to review our Funding Areas to ensure your mission aligns with our strategic priorities in Chicago, Washington, and Newport. If your work falls within these guidelines and you’d like to introduce yourself for future consideration, please visit our Community Inquiry Page. For specific program questions or to connect with a member of our team, you can find our contact details on the Staff Page.
