The Annenberg Foundation exists to advance the public well-being through improved communication. As the principal means of achieving its goal, the Foundation encourages the development of more effective ways to share ideas and knowledge throughout the U.S. and globally. The Foundation focuses its grantmaking on the following program areas: education and youth development; arts, culture, and humanities; civic and community; animal services and the environment; and health and human services.

Letters of inquiry that address the Foundation's interests are accepted throughout the year. The Foundation only considers organizations defined as a public charity and tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
