Motorola Solutions Foundation: Innovation Generation
Motorola Solutions Foundation grants supporting technology and STEM education for underserved students globally and in the US.
About This Grant
The Motorola Solutions Foundation runs the Innovation Generation program, funding STEM and technology education for underserved K-12 students. The foundation prioritizes programs that provide hands-on technology learning and career pathway exposure for students who lack access to these opportunities. New York organizations are eligible.
Awards typically range from $25,000 to $100,000. Motorola Solutions focuses on programs that deliver measurable student outcomes in STEM and technology learning, particularly for underrepresented youth. Organizations with demonstrated outcomes in technology education serving low-income students are most competitive.
