Our Annual Grant Process

Every year, we invite U.S. nonprofit organizations based in communities where Sensata employees live and work to submit an application for a Sensata Foundation grant. The specific projects or programs that the grants support are aligned with the Foundation’s two focus areas: STEM Education (Primary and Secondary School) and Community Support. The grants, which are typically one-year awards, vary in size but generally range from $5,000 to $25,000.
