Alfred P Sloan Foundation

Name: Alfred P Sloan Foundation grants, 2022–2024
Creator: PaperOrbit

A private foundation (files IRS Form 990-PF). Most private foundations do not take unsolicited applications; the route in is usually a program officer.

median grant

Based on grants this organization reported to the IRS for tax years 2022–2024. This is what they filed, not a complete record of their giving, and recent years may be incomplete because filings lag.

Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Open source research software and university Open Source Program Offices
Energy, critical minerals, and clean energy policy economics
STEM graduate pathways for underrepresented and Indigenous students
Economics research infrastructure: NBER, care economy data, official statistics
Fundamental physics, chemistry of life, and synthetic cell biology
Science on screen and stage: film, television, theater, public radio

Typical grant

Median grant is just under $100,000 and the middle half sits between $75,000 and $249,000, so most of the portfolio is modest project support. The seven-figure checks go to infrastructure builds and scholarship administration (Carnegie Mellon supply chain techno-economics at $1.48M, PERI care economy data at $1.33M, NACME's Indigenous Graduate Partnership at $1.0M). With 1,550 grants across only 438 recipients over three years, repeat funding is the norm rather than the exception.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“open source”
“development, maintenance, and sustainability of research software”
“expand and diversify”
“community-building”
“techno-economics”
“critical minerals”

Positioning adjacent work

Tie adjacent work to open source infrastructure or an Open Source Program Office; that cluster is funded repeatedly at $280K-$930K.
Ask $250K-$500K for a defined research project; reserve seven-figure asks for data infrastructure or scholarship administration.
Frame outputs as tools, datasets, or platforms others reuse, not as papers. They fund shared community assets.
Critical minerals and supply chains draw multiple 2024 grants; connect mining, refining, or reshoring questions to equity and community impact.

Worth knowing: California and New York take over a third of grants, with Berkeley, NBER, MIT, and USC appearing repeatedly across programs, and several intermediaries (NACME, Community Initiatives, Fund for the City of New York, Film Independent) administer whole Sloan-branded programs. Recent giving leans heavily into open source software infrastructure, critical minerals supply chains, and the care economy, all themes that barely existed in older Sloan portfolios.
