About the Grant

The Avery Dennison Foundation (ADF) is a global funder that supports and builds partnerships with nonprofit/non-governmental organizations in communities across the globe, with an emphasis on geographies of high need.

We align our grantmaking with the UN SDGs. Within our pillars,  nearly 90% of supported projects are based outside of the United States. The Foundation accepts grant requests year-round and makes funding decisions on a quarterly basis.

Grants typically range from $50,000-$100,000.

ADF gives to three impact areas: education access, environmental sustainability and secure livelihoods.
