Grant Description
Grants to USA and Canada organizations for projects to benefit local communities where the funding source has a presence. Eligible organizations are aligned with one of the following areas of interest: local community, water, and food. Funding is intended to address issues including hunger, agricultural education and development, habitat conservation, nutrient stewardship, watershed restoration, and sustainable communities.

Mosaic focuses its investments in three core areas: 

  • Food: To feed a growing global population, food production will have to double by 2050. This is a daunting challenge considering that today one billion people go to bed hungry each night. Mosaic seeks to address these issues by concentrating on the following funding areas:
    • Hunger: food insecurity and food system development in local communities where Mosaic has facilities and offices
    • Global Agricultural Development: addressing global food security through development programs focused on smallholder farmers in developing nations where Mosaic has key stakeholders
    • Agricultural Education: research, education and extension programs primarily focused on soil health and balanced nutrition and increasing the capacity of farmers to grow more food sustainably
    • For additional information, see: https://www.mosaicco.com/Food-Security-and-Agricultural-Productivity
  • Water: Water is the greatest limiting factor to growing more food. By 2030, it is estimated that the world will experience a 30 percent shortfall in freshwater supply at current consumption rates. Mosaic seeks to address water conservation by concentrating on the following funding areas:
    • Habitat Conservation: conserving resources and encouraging stewardship of the environment, including biodiversity and habitat protection where Mosaic has facilities and offices
    • Nutrient Stewardship: nutrient stewardship and ecosystem management programs that promote sustainable agriculture and best management practices in watersheds where Mosaic has facilities, offices, and other key stakeholder relationships
    • Watershed Restoration: preservation and restoration in regions where Mosaic has facilities and offices
    • For additional information, see: https://www.mosaicco.com/Water
  • Local: Mosaic's local communities are their homes and they have a vested interest in their sustainability. Mosaic understands that for Mosaic to prosper, their communities must also. Mosaic strives to make investments that will protect and enhance the long-term quality of life in their communities for themselves, their families and their neighbors. Mosaic concentrates funding in the following areas:
    • Philanthropic and Civic: partnerships that enrich the long-term strength of communities in which Mosaic has offices and operations
    • Operating Communities: Organizations in which Mosaic's employees are donating their time, talent and expertise
    • For additional information, see: https://www.mosaicco.com/Society
  • Other Investments: Disaster Relief While not one of Mosaic's focus areas, Mosaic occasionally responds to global disaster relief needs when employees or customers are impacted. These gifts support emergency response needs and are not eligible for the formal application process.
