The Charles H. Stout Foundation is dedicated to supporting organizations involved in charitable, scientific, literary, educational, religious activities, and efforts to prevent child abuse and cruelty to animals, reflecting the interests and values of its founder.
The Foundation welcomes grant applications from organizations that were directly supported by Charles H. Stout during his lifetime or that align with the values dear to him. The grant aims to fund entities engaged exclusively in activities deemed charitable, including but not limited to scientific research, literary efforts, educational initiatives, religious projects, and actions aimed at the prevention of child abuse and cruelty to animals.
Priority is extended to organizations operating in areas where foundation members either live or often spend time, ensuring closer oversight of how funds are used.
Organizations characterized by minimal administrative and operational expenses, ensuring most of the donation goes directly to the core mission, are favored. Funding considerations will also include capital improvement projects for these entities. The foundation aims to support organizations in regions frequented or inhabited by its members to facilitate better tracking and impact assessment of the financial support provided.
