Grant Application Guidelines

The Foundation considers grant applications in written form only. Applications are considered monthly and applicants are notified in writing of the Board's decision.

An application form is required and can be obtained by clicking the Grant Application Form link at the right or by contacting our office. The review process usually takes between two and three months. If your project is time sensitive it is recommended that you submit the proposal as early as possible. Site visits are a part of the evaluation process. Requests should be complete and concise.

Capital Projects: please complete the supplemental sheet and include with grant application. Please note that capital funds are very limited. These are generally reviewed by the Board in October.

Application Must Contain the Following:

Organization Information

  • Grant Application signed by the Director of the Organization
  • Brief History of the Organization
  • List of Board of Directors or Governing Board
  • Copy of the 501(c)3 ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
  • Number of people served
  • Copy or summary of your strategic plan/long range goals

Project Information

  • Describe the project including the objectives and evaluation process
  • Amount sought from this Foundation
  • Detailed budget for the funds requested and the organization overall
  • List of other committed funding sources for this project

Grant Requests may be submitted by e-mail using the link at right and then followed up with a hard copy of only the signed application form in the mail.

Supplementary documentation is left to the discretion of the applicant. Any additional information required will be requested personally or in writing. Media materials cannot be returned. Individual or group interviews with the Directors are not part of the assessment procedure.

If you need any additional information once you have read the guidelines, we welcome your call to one of the following:
