We’re proud to support this group of talented individuals, who are building a better tomorrow through their nonprofit organizations. Stanley 1913 is a community of Creators, Builders and Inventors driven by a shared mission: to create in a better way, for a better life and world. Ever since William Stanley, Jr. invented the first all-steel vacuum bottle more than 110 years ago, we continue to be inspired by the spirit of innovation to transform our communities. We believe we're stronger together, and that big ideas, bold actions, and thoughtful leadership are essential to solving our world's deepest challenges.
Through the Stanley Creators Fund, we uplift emerging leaders as they create and develop innovative ideas that strengthen communities. This grant program invests in, and celebrates, early-stage nonprofit organizations through $50,000 USD of unrestricted support. Since 2023, we are proud to have recognized 13 talented individuals, across 4 countries, representing a diverse set of causes, approaches, people, and communities. Let's create. Let's build. Let's invent a better world.
