Grants
Neag Foundation ∫ Bread & Roses Community Fund ∫ Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission ∫ TD Charitable Foundation ∫
The Neag Foundation is committed to providing grants that will make an impact — we want to create possibilities for important change in areas of need in education, healthcare and humanities & the arts. We believe in the power of change. Our grants are given to organizations and programs in Pennsylvania and Connecticut, the states in which the Neags lived. We hope that our foundations impact on education and healthcare will improve the world. As Ray and Carole Neag often said, “we hope to leave the world a little better than we found it.”
If your organization is interested in submitting a proposal for consideration by the Neag Foundation, we encourage you to carefully review our criteria for funding to become acquainted with our grant-making goals and strategies. Unfortunately, we must decline many excellent proposals every year because they do not fit the parameters of our work. This is not a reflection of the ideas or importance of the applications but of our need to make thoughtful choices as we seek to continue the legacy of Ray and Carole Neag.
Thank you for your interest in the Neag Foundation.

The Bread & Roses Community Fund is accepting applications to the Opportunity Fund.

These activities are frequently in response to rapidly emerging issues and might include: demonstrations and rallies, coalition efforts, conferences, or forums.
The Opportunity Fund makes grants to groups that:
- Meet all basic eligibility requirements and funding criteria
- Are facing an emerging issue, project, or situation that is not part of the organization’s ongoing work
- Have not received an Opportunity Fund grant within the past 12 months
More generally, Bread & Roses provides grants to groups that have a long-term vision and engage strategies that promote social justice, including:
- A focus on organizing and activism (not social service work)
- A clear understanding of the root causes of the problem they are working to resolve
- A strategy that includes collective action by the community and results in concrete outcomes
- A vision that emphasizes changing the systems that create or perpetuate the problem being addressed
- Leadership that is primarily composed of people affected by the problem that is being addressed
- A priority for developing leadership from within the affected community
Proposals must be complete and submitted electronically by 5:00 p.m. on the 1st of each month. If the first is a weekend or holiday, the deadline is the first workday of the month.
