Who We Are

The MoneyGram Foundation was established by MoneyGram International in 2013. Inspired by MoneyGram's 80-year history of providing a global financial services network used by millions around the world to secure life's essentials for their families, the Foundation seeks to make an impact in the communities of our customers, employees and agents through charitable grants that address financial literacy and workforce development/job readiness.

We believe access to financial tools and services, as well as knowledge on how to improve one's own financial health, is at the heart of better economic opportunities, individual freedom and empowerment, and stronger communities.

Our Grants

Grant-seeking organizations with a focus on financial literacy and/or workforce development/job readiness may submit an inquiry. Please make sure to provide a valid email, contact name, link to your organization's website, and a brief description of the project or program for which you are seeking funding. The Foundation staff reviews all inquiries on a quarterly basis.

Grant awards typically range between $10,000 USD to $60,000 USD.
