Shaping Tomorrow’s Global Built Environment Today
American Society of Heating Refrigerating and A-c Engineers Fdn centers its funding on research grants and scholarships tied to HVACR, with two large recent awards supporting that same mix across 2024 and 2023. The most recent grant on file was $346,003 to American Society of Heating Refrigerating and A-c Engineers Inc in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, described as funding research grants and other scholarships awarded by the organization. The prior year’s grant was $327,232 to the same recipient for the same purpose, showing a steady pattern of support for the foundation’s internal research-and-scholarship pipeline. The foundation’s program list shows that this emphasis is not limited to one channel. It funds discretionary requests that further ASHRAE’s mission, research projects, student grants, scholarships, and graduate support, along with equipment grants for undergraduate HVACR programs and student design competitions. Across these efforts, the foundation serves students, researchers, and professionals connected to heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, building systems, and energy efficiency. Its giving is local and fully concentrated in Georgia recipient records in the data provided.
A major topic is HVACR research. In 2024, American Society of Heating Refrigerating and A-c Engineers Fdn gave $346,003 to American Society of Heating Refrigerating and A-c Engineers Inc to fund research grants and other scholarships, linking research support directly to the organization’s mission work. Student support is another clear line. The foundation’s active programs include scholarships and student grants, a society scholarship program, chapter local scholarship programs, and graduate student grant-in-aid awards for students in HVACR and related engineering fields. It also supports educational infrastructure. Undergraduate Program Equipment Grants help buy equipment for HVACR education and hands-on learning. The program list further includes the ASHRAE Student Design Competition, which funds multidisciplinary student teams working on HVACR system design for real-world building projects. Research priorities extend to energy efficiency, indoor air quality, building performance, and advanced building technologies through research project grants and graduate research funding.

Typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25 is $331,925, median is $336,618, and p75 is $341,310. The two recent grants on file are both in that range, suggesting a narrow, planned grantmaking pattern rather than highly variable award sizes. The foundation is a regular funder, not a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals directly. The recent record also shows a recurring recipient across 2023 and 2024, indicating repeated support for the same organization over multiple years. Application mode is mixed: some active programs accept unsolicited requests, while student scholarships and grants are listed as not accepting unsolicited applications.
Grant activity in the data is entirely U.S.-based, with 100% of grants to recipients in Georgia. The recipient city on both recent grants is Peachtree Corners, matching the foundation’s local giving scope. The broader program list still includes global geography for some offerings, but the recent grant record itself is concentrated in one Georgia recipient location and one repeat grantee.
Its active programs cover HVACR research, scholarships and student grants, undergraduate equipment grants, graduate student grant-in-aid, student design competitions, and discretionary requests that further ASHRAE’s mission. The focus areas in the data also include building energy efficiency, standards and guidelines research, decarbonization, and building systems and controls.
The grant-size distribution is very tight: p25 is $331,925, median is $336,618, and p75 is $341,310. The two recent grants on file, $346,003 in 2024 and $327,232 in 2023, sit close to that range.
Some programs do. The ASHRAE Foundation Funding Request, Undergraduate Program Equipment Grants, ASHRAE Research Program, Society Scholarship Program, Chapter Local Scholarship Programs, Graduate Student Grant-In-Aid Program, Student Design Competition, and Graduate Student Grants / Graduate Research all list unsolicited or open application pathways. The scholarships program itself is marked as not accepting unsolicited applications.
The recent grants list shows support to American Society of Heating Refrigerating and A-c Engineers Inc in Peachtree Corners, Georgia in both 2023 and 2024. The beneficiary types in the profile include engineering students, academic and applied researchers in HVACR, and HVACR professionals and ASHRAE members.
The recent grant record in the data is fully concentrated in Georgia, with 100% of grants to recipients in the state. Some active programs are described as global or United States in scope, but the grants shown in the recent record are all to a Georgia recipient.
