How to Apply

Prospective applicants should submit a Letter of Inquiry which briefly describes the organization and the proposed request, including a summary budget, timeline and impact statement. The Letter of Inquiry is reviewed by staff to determine if the proposal warrants further consideration by the Foundation. If, after staff consideration, it is determined that the proposal warrants further review, a numbered Application for Grant form is forwarded to the applicant. The applicant completes the application in accordance with instructions included in the informational booklet and returns it to the Foundation for a more detailed consideration. Applicants are notified of specific submission deadlines upon receipt of an Application for Grant form.
