- How to apply
The funder's latest Form 990-PF says it accepts applications. Read the instructions below before you write.
Application policy: Accepts applications, as stated on the FY2025 return.
These lines count this foundation's own Form 990-PF returns that the IRS has published as data. An amended return replaces its original. They describe past returns only.
This is a count from past returns. It does not say the foundation will consider a new request. How it is counted: names are compared as written on the returns, without "The" at the start, without endings such as "Inc" or "LLC", and without spaces and punctuation. A recipient also counts as already listed when our records link it to the same organization as an earlier recipient, or when its name is almost the same as an earlier name (a trigram similarity of 0.8 or more, where 1 means identical). The state on the grant row is not compared. Grants that the foundation marked as paid to an individual, such as a scholarship, are left out of both numbers, and no count is shown when most of its grants are marked that way. A person whom the foundation did not mark as an individual is still counted as a recipient. A recipient can still look new when its name is written very differently from year to year, and two different recipients with almost the same name can be counted as one.
Application guidance comes from the funder's own Form 990-PF, Part XV (the section where a private foundation says how to apply), shown as filed. It is the funder's words, not ours. These fields are free text and the IRS form cuts them short. Filers sometimes put whole sentences in the contact-name box. Shown exactly as filed.
Giving by year
Total assets by year
| Year | Form | Revenue | Expenses | Giving | Assets | Net assets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | 990-PF | $285,405 | $192,136 | $188,750 | $815,898 |
Figures are as reported on the e-filed return, with no restatement. Fiscal years are the funder's own tax year, labelled by the calendar year the period ends in. A blank line means the return does not carry that figure; a real zero shows as $0. When an amended return replaces an original, every figure here uses the amended return. The original is not shown. Giving is what the funder actually paid out toward its charitable purpose in the year (qualifying distributions on Form 990-PF, charitable disbursements otherwise). Assets are what it holds; giving is what moves.

| University of MichiganPittsburgh, PA | This research project looks to advance Methods for the Efficient Estimation of the Reliability of Post-Elastic High-Rise Wind-Excited Structures within a Performance-Based Design PBD for high-rise buildings. Professor Seymour Spence is the principal investigator and is quoted as follows: Current high-rise structural wind design is hampered by difficulties in efficiently modeling the post-elastic non-linear structural behavior of the system therefore leading to challenges in estimating the reliability of these systems against severe windstorms. This research seeks to define a new paradigm for solving this problem through the development of probabilistic dynamic shakedown frameworks for the inelastic analysis of wind-excited structures. These methods have the potential to provide tools that enable the rapid evaluation as compared to time-history integration of the post-elastic reliability of a wide class of high-rise structures." | $79,892 | 2021 |

| Charles Pankow FoundationMcLean, VA | RGA 06-22 Assembly Live Load Consistency For Buildings - Gateway to Reducing Embedded Energy: Dating back to the 1800's there have been live load surveys and analyses particularly of area-dependent loads in office buildings. As will be shown however while some occupancy loads have received careful examination assembly has almost been an afterthought. Indeed there has been no systematic review and consideration of reliability-based scenarios for assembly requirements. The driving rationale for the present study is a modem determination of these loads. Prioritization on safety which is appropriate has led to a tendency of overdesign in some cases of which assembly floor loading is one. Without a reliability- and performance-based approach these loads have continued essentially unchanged since their first pre-code promotion in 1893. This research is an innovative modern approach to reliability-based design live loads for assembly areas in buildings to promote improved safety. | $50,000 | 2023 |

This research will catalyze innovation within the building construction field by enabling efficient and effective designs of steel-CLT floors. Steel-CLT buildings are currently being constructed throughout the US. However the existing design guides for diaphragm and vibration design have not been developed through experimental data.

The design provision will consider both standard and design fire scenarios and develop design methods that account for the complexities of behavior including thermal deformation restraints including axial and flexural deformations and forces induced in the connections and connection limit states including fracture failure.

| UCLALos Angeles, CA | The purpose of the grant is to evaluate experimentally the performance of concrete coupling beams subjected to inelastic demands under wind loading. Structures subjected to seismic demands have long been permitted to yield under extreme loads which provides reliable energy dissipation while simultaneously resulting in economical building designs. The same is not true for wind design which has historically been limited to the realm of linear elastic design. This research will provide test data for example nonlinear backbone curves and cyclic modeling parameters similar to those used in seismic design which will be used by practicing structural engineers who wish to perform nonlinear wind analysis for tall concrete coupled shear wall buildings especially those occurring in high wind environments. | $42,500 | 2021 |

| Building TransparencySeattle, WA | A-104 The Carbon Results Framework Project: The goal of the EC3 tool project is to transform building construction by transparently measuring comparing and reducing embodied carbon emissions from construction materials. Each year the built environment contributes almost 40% of CO2 emissions worldwide and it is estimated that there will be a doubling of the amount of building floorspace in the next 40 years. At least half of the carbon footprint of these new buildings will take the form of embodied carbon the emissions associated with building construction including extracting transporting manufacturing and installing building materials.

| Charles Pankow FoundationMcLean, VA | Research Grant Agreement 06-19 relates to the use of steel reinforced concrete coupling beams rather than diagonally-reinforced coupling beams. This is an innovative approach that offers a better way to build coupled shear walls as it alleviates reinforcement congestion in the wall to simplify construction. Additionally designing coupling beams for a controlled level of nonlinearity under wind demands is consistent with the approach used for seismic design and results in a design that is more economical. The project is consistent with other research efforts focused on nonlinearity in wind design. | $25,000 | 2021 |
