The Nucor Foundation concentrates its giving almost exclusively on postsecondary scholarship support, funding large scholarship programs rather than a broad range of charities. Grants appear targeted to undergraduate students and structured scholarship pools (including awards routed through Nucor Corporation), suggesting the foundation prioritizes education access—likely for students connected to Nucor or its communities. Its giving is highly concentrated in a small number of large awards rather than many smaller grants.
Concentrated, high-dollar giving with very few grants; repeat funding to scholarship vehicles and to the corporate affiliate. Primarily large one-time or recurring scholarship awards rather than diversified grantmaking.
