APPLICATION PROCESS

Our application process is designed for us to get to know you and your organization better. We accept grant applications year-round and do not have a defined grant cycle with specific submission deadlines. If we find you to be eligible and a good fit, our staff will set an application timeline specific to your organization.

We look for partners that are dedicated to meeting the basic needs of low-income families in our community in the following areas:

      • Food
      • Physical and Behavioral Health
      • Safety
      • Social Belonging and Culture
      • Transportation

 

How to Apply

We help you put your best foot forward. This means we help your organization at all stages of the process. Sometimes this even means helping you decide your request isn’t a fit for our organization.

Step 1: Review Eligibility

Take a look at our FAQs to see if your organization is a good fit.

Step 2: Complete the Initial Online Review Form

We encourage organizations to begin by completing a brief online form embedded on our website.
This short submission helps our team review:

- Basic eligibility

- Alignment with Foundation priorities

- General project fit

Our goal is to provide early guidance before organizations invest more time in our grant process.
This initial review form is typically required before submitting an LOI.

Grant Report

Grant reporting is a requirement for all grant awards. Report expectations vary depending on the nature and size of the grant and will be discussed with grantee as needed. Grant reports must be received and approved from the grantee before the Foundation will consider future requests.
