Messages from our Trustees



Over the past five years, the Annenberg Foundation has committed to an unprecedented level of grant support to qualified non-profits in the United States and abroad, totaling $1.2 billion. Due to this significant investment of funds in an abbreviated time-frame -- coupled with the economic downturn -- The Foundation is currently unable to accept additional, unsolicited letters of inquiry or proposals.

As the members of the Board of Trustees determine the most effective means to ensure the Foundation's strength for future grantmaking, we will keep you updated on this page of our website.

In the meantime, grantmaking continues on an invitation-only basis.
