This database includes all of the more than 6,000 awards Meyer Memorial Trust has made since 1982 (except grants made under the Support for Teacher Initiatives program, which will be added later). Use the search filters to limit the list of awards you see by program, focus area, location, organization, etc. Please note that the location information refers to the location of the organization's headquarters and not necessarily where the program activity took place. All filters are optional and you can select as many as you wish. If you don't make a selection to limit your search in a field, you will see all results in that category.
Please note: When searching for awards made to an organization, use "quotes" around the organization name to ensure you see results for the whole name. Otherwise your results will include every organization with those words in the name. For example, "Friends of the Children" and not Friends of the Children.
