About Siemens Foundation
The Siemens Foundation concentrates its giving on workforce development tied to clean energy and advanced transportation (especially electric vehicle infrastructure and EV-related apprenticeships), plus health equity and community-based clinical workforce training. They fund intermediary organizations, public sector partners and state networks to scale apprenticeship models and rapid-response workforce programs, with a secondary emphasis on youth economic recovery and racial health disparities. Grants are strategic and programmatic, aimed at building scalable training pathways and public-private collaborations rather than one-off service delivery.

About Siemens Foundation
A recurring pattern in Siemens Foundation grantmaking is the use of large, multi-year awards to build workforce systems, not just fund individual programs. One example is the pair of $1 million grants to New America Foundation in 2024 and 2025 for partnership work on youth apprenticeship, showing sustained support for career pathways rather than a one-time pilot. The foundation also backed the National League of Cities in 2023 with $1,231,436 for youth economic recovery and empowerment, signaling interest in city-based workforce and mobility systems. Across the recent grants, Siemens Foundation funds intermediary organizations, public agencies, and workforce networks that can scale training models in electrification, healthcare, and technical occupations. Its work centers on pathways into electric vehicle charging, apprenticeship expansion, and health workforce training, with some grants aimed at building collaborative infrastructure such as rapid-response funds and multi-partner coalitions. The result is a grant portfolio oriented toward expanding access to jobs that require specialized training and toward strengthening the institutions that deliver that training.
What Siemens Foundation Funds
In electrification, Siemens Foundation gave $1,628,723 to Electric Vehicle Infrastructure for the EV Fast Track Project, and $868,860 to North Carolina Business Committee for EV charging pre- and apprenticeship development. It also supported the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices with $557,738 for an EV workforce collaborative project, showing a systems-level approach to the sector. In healthcare workforce development, the foundation awarded $1,336,330 to Washington Association for Community Health for the In Reach Program Extension, and $757,000 to Washington Asso of Community Health for expanding a proven apprenticeship model for medical assistant training and dental assistant development. On youth and career pathways, National Career Tech received $224,000 for building a sustainable system to reach diverse learners, while National Merit Scholarship Corp received multiple awards for scholarships.
How Siemens Foundation Gives
Siemens Foundation’s recent grant sizes cluster around a $100,000 p25, $250,158 median, and $500,000 p75, with several seven-figure awards at the top of the range. The grant list shows repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years, including New America Foundation, National League of Cities, Washington Association for Community Health, and National Merit Scholarship Corp. That pattern points to programmatic, follow-on funding rather than isolated gifts. The foundation is classified as a regular funder and funds individuals, while also using partnership-based grants and collaborative investments.
