Roach Maxam Family Foundation: Whistleblowers Grant

The Roach Maxam Family Foundation offers grants to reward whistleblowers who expose wrongdoing to promote social, economic, and environmental justice. The foundation encourages individuals with knowledge of workplace misconduct to reach out for assistance. They prioritize anonymity and provide resources for whistleblowers working with recognized organizations. Eligibility is limited to those represented by whistleblower protection groups, and grants may also support these organizations. The foundation aims to hold institutions accountable through its funding initiatives.

If we are contacted by persons who have knowledge of wrongdoing in their workplace and are considering sharing their knowledge with lawmakers, regulators, watchdog organizations, attorneys, or the media we will urge them to contact whistleblower organizations.
