Over the years, Lindbergh Grants have become increasingly well known, supporting innovative ideas at earlier stages of development and establishing pilot projects that often subsequently receive extensive funding from other sources. Since the first Lindbergh Grants were made in 1978, the Lindbergh Foundation has awarded nearly $3 million to 294 men and women around the world.

The Lindbergh Foundation is a public 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Minnesota that supports great innovations that foster the environment for a planet in balance.  Its programs are devoted to supporting, honoring, and educating individuals, through the annual honorary Lindbergh Award and the Lindbergh Grants program, which provides grants for research or education projects that will make important contributions to a technology/environment balance.
