Swift Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals.
New grantees may apply for one-year grants for program support. Most first-time grants are between $15,000 and $35,000; with exceptions for a first-time grant for a particularly promising, innovative or start-up program, project or organization. Swift funds both one-time program grants as well as long-term partnerships.
Swift Foundation strives to build trust through long-term partnerships and alliances with organizations. After a one-year grant Swift may consider a multi-year grant and occasionally a general support grant.
Swift Foundation focuses its work on communities outside of the United States where less funding is available. Over the next five years (2012-2016), Swift has identified two areas of geographic focus for funding attention:
- Andes and Amazon Regions of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru; and,
- Northwest British Columbia, Canada.
Additional focus areas may be identified based on our program strategy.

Swift Foundation is doing a great job in supporting innovative initiatives from communities and brings it into fore that otherwise would have gone un noticed. Keep the great work you are doing.
