Overview of Lumena Foundation Funds:

The Lumena Foundation has three funds, each with its own separate application:

1. Moon: unrestricted grant up to $50,000 per year for 1 year
2. Sun: unrestricted grant of $50,000+ per year for 3 years (by invitation only)
3. Star: scholarship up to $50,000 per year for up to 3 years*

*The Star scholarship grants are for nonprofits that have an existing scholarship program within their organization or wish to start a new scholarship program within their organization.

• If you are seeking funding for a new scholarship program within your organization, you can only apply for a single-year of funding.
• If you are seeking funding for an existing scholarship within your organization, you can apply for up to three years of funding.

Our applications share some of the same questions. If your organization is applying for more than one Lumena grant, please feel free to simply copy and paste your responses for duplicate questions. Our goal is to keep the application process streamlined so that you can focus on the real work and not the paperwork.
