Grant FAQs
Our spring grant cycle Letter of Intent is due in February and our fall cycle Letter of Intent is due in August. If you miss the deadline you will need to wait for the next grant cycle.
The Foundation does not provide grant writing assistance. However, we are available to answer questions and provide limited guidance during the process.
Funding
- Is there a maximum dollar amount for grant requests?
No, but the proposed budget must justify the requested amount. Amounts requested may differ from any amount awarded.
- Do you have a minimum or maximum grant term?
No, grant terms are at the discretion of the grantee.
Letter of Intent
Any eligible organization interested in applying for a grant needs to submit a letter of intent first.
- How many copies of the Letters of Intent per organization can be submitted?
One Letter of Intent per organization per funding cycle can be submitted.
- What attachments can I include with my Letter of Intent or application?
Any attachments or unrequested documents will not be reviewed nor included with your application.
- Can I hand deliver my Letter of Intent or application?
No. You must submit the Letter of Intent and invited application on the grant portal.
- How many copies of the Letter of Intent or application do I need to submit?
One copy.
- If the Foundation denies a Letter of Intent or application, can an organization be reconsidered in a future funding cycle?
Yes, the process is the same as for first-time submissions. To be reconsidered, an organization must begin the grant process with a Letter of Intent.
My organization has submitted a Letter of Intent. What next?
We will review your Letter of Intent within approximately two weeks from the deadline date. We will then notify you if you are invited to submit an application, or if we have not accepted your Letter of Intent.
