Miller Foundation operating support grants can be used for a grantee’s operating expenses. Examples

- Addition of new paid staff
Funding Information
The operating support grants typically represent between 3-5% of an organization’s annual operating expenses.
Here are typical examples of how operating support grants are commonly funded:
- If an organization’s annual expenses are under $1 million, then the grant amount would likely be up to 5% of those expenses.
- If an organization’s annual expenses are between $1-2 million, then the grant amount would likely be up to 4% of those expenses.
- If an organization’s annual expenses are over $2 million, then the grant amount would likely be up to 3% of those expenses. (Please note, typical maximum for operating support grants is $150,000.)
Project Period
- Applicants may apply for one, two, or three years of support. However, please note that newer applicants are unlikely to receive multi-year support. They recommend first-time applicants request a one-year grant.
- If you have a 5-year history of grant funding with Miller, you are eligible to apply for up to 3 years of support.
- For those applicants with a grant history of between 2-4 years of funding, you are eligible to apply for up to 2 years of support.
Eligibility Criteria
- Eligible private schools are those where the majority of students attend tuition-free.
- For schools and districts participating in an active partnership with community-based partners to support students and families, they encourage the partner organizations (if otherwise eligible) to apply.
- Charter and alternative schools are eligible to apply if the majority of their students belong to historically underserved communities.
