Before completing the grant application, be sure to:
- Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning.
- Be thorough. Do not skip questions unless they in no way apply to your request.
- Avoid repetition of ideas.
- Be concise, yet informative in your proposal. Writing a clean, understandable narrative is key.
Grant Applications will be reviewed by the Foundation at its regularly scheduled meetings. Deadlines for grant applications will be March 31st and September 30th of each year. A funding decision approximately 1-2 weeks from the review meeting date will be made, unless additional information is needed to evaluate the application. Funds will be made available within 4 months of the funding decision. Due to the Foundation's desire to fund as many worthwhile programs as possible, requests for capital improvements will not be considered at this time.
