About this grant
Rockwell Automation makes grants aligned with its Focused Giving strategy, primarily to current nonprofit partners for general operations, project/program support, and scholarships. The company does not fund individuals, lobbying organizations, animal causes, festivals, athletic events, religious organizations, or capital campaigns. FIRST teams are eligible for direct support only if there is an engaged Rockwell Automation mentor, with funding requests submitted by company employees. U.S. grants require tax-exempt status and current audited financial statements. Applications are by invitation for most programs.
