About the Funder
SBB Research Group Foundation supports ambitious organizations working to solve unmet needs with thoughtful, long-term strategies. The Foundation’s grant program grew out of SBB Research Group LLC’s COVID-19 Grant Program, which was created to support nonprofit organizations and communities affected by the pandemic.
After two years of impact through the COVID-19 Grant Program, the Foundation continued its philanthropic commitment by offering monthly grants to nonprofit organizations through the SBB Research Group Foundation Grant Program.
