Grant Application

The spring 2020 grant round opened in February and was scheduled to close March 16.

The Foundation may ask grant applicants to attend a Foundation meeting to give a short presentation (3-5 minutes) and to answer questions that Foundation Board members might have about the application. Please be aware that the Foundation recently updated its procedures and rubric for the grant process. Click here to learn more.
