Mississippi: The Phil Hardin Foundation

Phil Hardin Foundation Grants for Mississippi Education

The Phil Hardin Foundation supports charitable education work benefiting Mississippians or Mississippi-based entities. An early learning project may fit when it aligns with the foundation's priorities and demonstrates a meaningful educational result.

What might a grant support?

Potential projects should address an identified educational need, outline the approach and budget, and show how outcomes will be assessed. The foundation determines which types of activities and expenses fit its current priorities.

Can new organizations apply?

The foundation's existing commitments can limit when it considers new funding proposals, even though its board reviews grants during the year. Check the current notice and contact the foundation before investing time in a new proposal.

ChildCareEd subscriptions offer a way to plan ongoing professional development. Confirm with the foundation whether staff training belongs in a proposed budget.
