Ashoka Grant

Khyentse Foundation Ashoka Grants are open to the public and aim to identify and support organizations and individuals that are working to increase dharma activity around the world. Ashoka Grants are for programs and projects that fall outside the criteria for Buddhist Studies Scholarships, Individual Practice Grants, or other awards.

The Ashoka Grant Committees review applications from organizations and individuals who are actively engaged in projects related to Buddhism.

Your application will not be considered if:

• You are requesting funds for a building and construction project.
• Your application does not adequately explain the budget and scope of the project.
• Your application is not related to Buddhism or Buddhist activity.
• Your application is for a film project; we are not accepting proposals for film projects at this time.
• You have already applied for an Ashoka grant in this round.
• Your application is in a language other than English. At this time, we can only accept applications in English.

Full funding of proposals is not always possible and partial funding may be offered to some applicants. KF is able to offer grants because of the generosity of our donors so please keep this in mind and request only what is needed for your dharma activity.

Applicants will be notified of decisions approximately four months after the deadline.
