$100K-$5M
The LEGO Foundation funds organizations whose work aligns closely with its mission, including education, child development, crisis and humanitarian education, special educational needs, and play-based learning and wellbeing. Existing data indicates typical grant sizes of $100K-$5M and a Pan-African focus that includes South Africa, Kenya, and Ghana. It is relevant for organizations working to improve children's learning, creativity, and support systems, including neurodivergent children and families.
Education
The foundation supports initiatives in education to help children grow, learn and thrive.
Child development
Its philanthropic mission includes supporting child development directly and indirectly.
Crisis & humanitarian settings
The foundation funds programmes that protect children's access to education in crisis settings.
Special Educational Needs
With a special focus on Autism and ADHD, the foundation works with educational organisations to strengthen support for neurodivergent children and their families.
Play-based learning and wellbeing
The foundation invests in access to education, creativity and play as core conditions for children to thrive and grow.
Organizations using play-based learning methodologies for child development
I could not verify detailed post-selection support from non-official sources in the available search results. No trustworthy third-party recipient writeups or portfolio case studies were surfaced.
Very limited discoverable third-party applicant/reviewer commentary surfaced in the available search environment, making it hard to validate recipient experience independently.; Because the opportunity appears foundation- and partnership-driven, access may be more relationship-based than open-call-driven for many grants; however, I could not verify this from third-party applicant accounts.
No reliable third-party alumni/applicant experience pages were found via available search results, so I cannot extract direct application tips from past recipients without risking fabrication. Based on repeated third-party descriptions of LEGO Foundation partnerships, applicants should likely emphasize evidence-backed play-based learning outcomes, implementation capacity, and partnerships with schools/governments/researchers rather than presenting a generic edtech pitch.
