Bayer Fund supports communities where our employees live and work by investing in programs in eligible communities around the world.  Grants are awarded for projects focused on our priority giving areas of Food & Nutrition, Education, and Community Development.

We accept applications from organizations located in eligible communities during two periods annually. The first period ranges from January 1 - February 28. The second period ranges from July 1 - August 31.

NOTE: Invitation codes for Cycle 2 grants (July-Aug) have been issued in all U.S. communities except for St. Louis, MO. To request an invitation code for St. Louis-based organizations, email your program information and request to grant.questions@monsanto.com. For all other communities, please check this website again in December to view programs available in 2020.

Bayer Fund accepts grant proposals for high-quality food & nutrition programs that address malnutrition by helping to ensure access and use of nutritious foods. Projects might include community gardens, food distribution programs, and nutrition education.

Applications to Bayer Fund are by invitation only.
