- 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.
No parsed e-filed return is on record for this organization yet, so year-by-year financials are not available.
Asset, income and revenue figures come from the IRS master file (the IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File), a coarse annual extract. Year-by-year figures appear once the organization's e-filed returns are in the database.
Recipient focus areas
Where recipients are
Based on the 14% of grant rows we could match to an organization record. The rest stay as reported. The IRS assigns the NTEE category when it grants exemption. It often reflects the original filing, not today's giving.
| Recipient | Purpose | Amount | Year | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charles Pankow FoundationMcLean, VA | RGA #04-23 Steel Mass Timber Hybrid Diaphragms and Vibration: aims to investigate the diaphragm and vibration behavior of steel-cross laminated timber CLT floors. 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. Therefore the design of steel-CLT buildings may be overly conservative. | $12,500 | 2025 |
Recipients are shown as the funder wrote them on the return. A recipient with a link was matched to an organization record; the rest stay as reported and are never guessed.

| Charles Pankow FoundationMcLean, VA | Research Grant Agreement 04-18 relates to advancing performance-based structural fire engineering design in the US through Exemplar Procedural Guidance. The goal of the project is to advance the adoption of structural fire engineering with the AEC industry to benefit public safety while delivering more efficient and economic building designs. To achieve this goal the project will do the following: - Demonstrate the execution of proper SFE design in accordance with newly releases standards - Provide exemplar procedural guidance for a set of building with regional representation and - Explicitly illustrate the benefits of this integrated approach to fire safety through trail design. | $10,000 | 2021 |
| University of MichiganPittsburgh, PA | A-101.3 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." | $0 | 2025 |
| Charles Pankow FoundationMcLean, VA | RGA -5-22 Performance based structural fire design for authorities having jurisdiction officials: this project will develop educational training materials to introduce AJH to the topic of performance-based structural fie design pbsfd. These materials will assist AHJ to gain an understanding of the goals objectives fire scenarios thermal and structural analyses for pbsfd. After completing the training ahj will be able to review pbsdf designs along with their assumptions limitations can caveats. They will be able to effectively manage relationships between the engineering team and the peer review panel and make final decisions based on buildings codes for steel concrete masonry and wood structures. The educations materials will include slides recorded presentations guideline documents recordings of live workshops seminars and discussions by expert panels in the field of structural fire engineering fire protection engineering and performance-based design. | $0 | 2025 |
