Boston Scientific receives thousands of applications for grant support, many of which do not align with our stated mission, focus areas or funding criteria. Note that funding is limited and submission of an application (even one that meets our stated criteria) does not guarantee that a grant will be made to your organization.

The Boston Scientific Foundation does not support:

1. Requests for event-based fundraising, sponsorships or capital campaigns
2. General operating requests
3. Continuing medical education requests or medical research requests
4. Political campaigns to support and/or oppose candidates for public office
5. Evangelizing activities of religious organizations

Note: To quality for a Boston Scientific Foundation grant, you must certify that your organization does not discriminate in who you serve or who you hire on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, citizenship, gender, sexual orientation, veteran's status, age, mental or physical disability, genetic information or any other class protected by federal, state, or local law requiring equal opportunity. You also must certify that your organization does not advocate, support, or practice activities that discriminate with regard to any of the aforementioned protected classes.
