The
Grass Foundation is a not-for-profit, private foundation chartered to
assist in advancing knowledge principally in the field of
neurophysiology, and including allied fields of medicine and science.
In pursuit of that goal, the Foundation acts to encourage and advance
education, research and clinical investigation in these fields. All
grants and expenditures of The Grass Foundation must be for charitable
purposes as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of the United States.
The only program administered directly by The Grass
Foundation, as approved by the Internal Revenue Service, is the Grass Fellowship Program in neuroscience at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
All other Foundation activities are supported via
funds awarded to other not-for-profit organizations,
who administer the relevant programs themselves. Organizations
with whom The Grass Foundation currently partners are
