Overview

_NOTE: Our grant process starts with an eligibility quiz, a short form Letter of Intent, and a Full Proposal by invitation only._

Our Mission

The Longview Foundation seeks to build a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world by equipping youth with a global perspective and understanding of political, social, and environmental issues worldwide.

We accomplish this by supporting teacher preparation, state initiatives and coalitions, and innovative programs focused on internationalizing education in the United States.

Founded by William L. Breese, the Longview Foundation for World Affairs and International Understanding has been helping young people in the United States learn about world regions and global issues since 1966.

Grants

Longview funds proposals for one-year grants focused on increasing global dimensions within K-12 education in the U.S. Successful applications will contribute to the field and/or will impact significant numbers of students.

In response to the current covid epidemic and the impact on schools in the U.S., we are placing a priority on applications that support professional development for teachers and access to strong on-line global content.
