Grant
Application Process
The Foundation's
Grants and Program Committee and the Board of Trustees meet
four times a year to make grant funding decisions. The quarterly
deadline dates for receipt of grant requests, which must be
submitted on the Foundation's grant application forms, are
determined at the beginning of each fiscal year, which is
from January 1st to December 31st.
Twelve
copies of the completed application must be returned to the
Foundation office by the deadline date. Youth-related grants
will be considered by the Youth Advisory Committee, a grantmaking
group of young people. For youth requests, thirty copies must
be submitted by the deadline.
The Foundation's
Board of Trustees will make final decisions on all grant recommendations
made by the Grants and Program Committee and the Youth Advisory
Committees.
Grantseekers
are notified in writing within one week after a Board of Trustees'
meeting if their requests have been approved or denied. A
Grant Agreement must then be signed by the grantee before
any funds are distributed.
Grantees
will be asked to complete a grant evaluation on the success
of their program. Trustees and/or staff may also conduct occasional
on-site visits to evaluate the success of the grant.
