This database includes all of the nearly 7,000 awards Meyer Memorial Trust has made since 1982 (except grants made under the Support for Teacher Initiatives program). When you arrive on this page, by default you see all awards listed, with the most recent ones appearing first.
To narrow the data displayed, click on Filter These Results and use the search filters to limit the list of awards you see by program, focus area, location, organization, time period, etc. Please note that location refers to the location of the organization's headquarters and not necessarily where the program activity or project 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 included in the name. For example, type "Friends of the Children" and not Friends of the Children.
