Grant Application

The FED's grant program supports tax exempt organizations that are engaged in critical inter-disciplinary research, education, knowledge sharing, and/or policy development with the widest effect on advancing the concepts of broad-based ownership and entrepreneurship. In the past five years, the Foundation has focused on opportunities for improved research and educational materials on shared capitalism and ownership models, especially in science- and technology-based industries. We are excited to see young and senior scholars engaged in growing a body of important research, teaching materials, and new means for broadly disseminating materials to business educators.

A majority of our 2010 grant budget has been awarded to universities involved in the Beyster Fellowship Program and the advancement of other educational initiatives, as follows:

Beyster Fellowships at the following institutions:

• Carnegie Mellon University, Tepper School of Business
