Grant Guidelines

 

Deadlines 

The Trustees of the foundation meet semi-annually on the business day that falls on or closest to June 15 and December 15.  In order to be considered, please submit grant applications 30 days prior to the meeting date.

Eligibility Considerations and Requirements

Grant applications will be accepted only from organizations which are tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code.  No grants to individuals can be made.  Only one grant per year to any agency is usually considered.  All grant requests must be submitted in writing and contain the elements discussed below.

Grant Application Procedures

The foundation does not have grant application forms.  To be considered for assistance, an organization should write a brief one or two page letter describing its proposal.  The letter should include the objectives, time schedule, budget and evaluation procedures. In addition, please submit information describing the organization's leadership team and board of trustees.   A copy of the Determination Letter from the IRS demonstrating 501(c)(3) status should accompany the application.
