The Simons Foundation

Name: The Simons Foundation grants, 2022–2024
Creator: PaperOrbit
License: https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/exempt-organization-public-disclosure-and-availability-requirements

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

Autism genetics, sex differences, and ASD mechanism research
Fundamental mathematics, theoretical physics, and theory of computing
Marine microbial ecology, plankton biogeography, ocean 'omics
Computational and quantitative biology centers, often NSF-Simons cofunded
STEM education pipelines, scholars programs, and science outreach
Institutional capital and matching gifts, heavily Stony Brook and NYC

Typical grant

Median grant is about $72,000, with the middle half running $8,400 to $160,804, so most of the file is small: fellowships, travel, individual investigator supplements, and pieces of larger collaborations. The big checks, $1M to $20M, go to institutional infrastructure and named centers (New York Genome Center, Stony Brook matching gifts, Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, NSF-Simons centers) rather than to single projects. Giving repeats hard: the same universities and the same collaboration titles reappear year over year in multi-site, multi-project structures.

Their words

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

“SIMONS COLLABORATION ON”
“SIMONS JUNIOR FACULTY FELLOWS”
“NSF-SIMONS CENTER”
“PRINCIPLES OF MICROBIAL ECOSYSTEMS”
“AUTISM SEX DIFFERENCES”
“SIMONS INVESTIGATOR”

Positioning adjacent work

Frame work as one project or core within a multi-site collaboration, the structure they already fund repeatedly.
For autism-adjacent work, connect to sex differences, somatic variants, or SPARK/Simons VIP cohort data.
Ask in the $400K to $900K range for a single-lab project; that matches their per-site awards.
Emphasize theory, computation, and open data tools; they fund arXiv modernization and big-data pipelines.

Worth knowing: Money concentrates in NY, CA, and MA, with Stony Brook receiving repeated eight-figure institutional and matching support tied to the founders' history there. A large share flows to a stable set of elite institutions inside named Simons collaborations, so entry usually comes through joining an existing collaboration or being recruited as an investigator rather than arriving cold.
