The Mosaic Company and The Mosaic Company Foundation have the same application process.
Applicants should not specify to which entity they seek funding as Mosaic reserves the right to determine
which entity makes the donation and which entity will be recognized for the grant.
The Mosaic Company and The Mosaic Company Foundation have an online grant application system for
organizations based in the US and Canada. On rare occasion, we will invite internationally based
organizations to apply through this form. If you have an opportunity you are interested in presenting that
may fit our focus areas of Food and Water in one of the countries where we have operations outside of
North America (India, China, Brazil), please email us at community.relations@mosaicco.com.
We focus our investments in three core areas:
Food
To feed a growing global population, food production will have to double by 2050. This is a daunting
challenge considering that today one billion people go to bed hungry each night. We seek to address these
issues by concentrating on the following funding areas:
• Hunger: food insecurity and food system development in local communities where we have facilities
and offices
• Global Agricultural Development: addressing global food security through development programs
focused on smallholder farmers in developing nations where we have key stakeholders
• Agricultural Education: research, education and extension programs primarily focused on soil health
and balanced nutrition and increasing the capacity of farmers to grow more food sustainably
Water
Water is the greatest limiting factor to growing more food. By 2030, it is estimated that the world will
experience a 30 percent shortfall in freshwater supply at current consumption rates. We seek to address
water conservation by concentrating on the following funding areas:
• Habitat Conservation: conserving resources and encouraging stewardship of the environment,
including biodiversity and habitat protection where we have facilities and offices
• Nutrient Stewardship: nutrient stewardship and ecosystem management programs that promote
sustainable agriculture and best management practices in watersheds where we have facilities, offices,
and other key stakeholder relationships
• Watershed Restoration: preservation and restoration in regions where we have facilities and offices
Local
Our local communities are our homes, and we have a vested interest in their sustainability. We understand
that for Mosaic to prosper, our communities must also. Mosaic strives to make investments that will protect
and enhance the long-term quality of life in our communities for ourselves, our families and our neighbors.
We concentrate funding in the following areas:
• Philanthropic and Civic: partnerships that enrich the long-term strength of communities in which Mosaic
has offices and operations
• Operating Communities: Organizations in which our employees are donating their time, talent and
expertise
Please note that because of the open nature of this focus area, Mosaic receives many requests annually -
many more than we can fund each year.
