Organizations requesting funds must be tax-exempt under Internal Revenue code 501(c) 3, a school or a governmental agency.  Battelle does not fund individuals, extracurricular school activities, courtesy advertisements, or religious, political or fraternal organizations.

Distributions are primarily made to organizations and programs in the greater Columbus area, Battelle's headquarters.  Limited financial resources are available to communities in which our laboratory sites and major regional offices are located. Organizations should direct requests to the local Battelle office.

Because of Battelle's increased support of United Way, member agencies' requests for general operating funds are not accepted.  Capital campaigns and special projects are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Due to the increasing number of fund-raising events, Battelle's representation at such activities will be based primarily on the following criteria:  the event is the organization's major source of fund-raising; a Battelle staff member serves on the organization's governing board; and there is a Team Battelle volunteer project associated with the organization.
