9. American Express Philanthropy touches many local communities within the United States. However, our direct grants are made primarily to nonprofit organizations in five metropolitan areas. It is unlikely we will make a grant outside of these five giving regions. Please select from one of our priority giving regions below:

Greater Phoenix

New York City

Salt Lake City

San Francisco

South Florida

Washington, D.C.

Although your organization is not located in our priority giving region we do consider projects outside of our funding regions but on a very limited basis. The next step in our grant application process is to complete the proposal. You will register your organization and submit additional information regarding your organization and the program/activities for which you are requesting support. The intention of the proposal is to provide American Express with enough information about the project to consider grant support.

Please note that the completion of the proposal does NOT guarantee an invitation to submit a full application. Proposals are reviewed wholly within the discretion of American Express, American Express Foundation and the American Express Charitable Fund.
