Applications
The Foundation’s grantmaking is divided into two programs – Small Grants and Partners Program – each with its own procedures, guidelines, and limitations. These differences and each program’s respective application procedures are illustrated on the chart entitled “Which Program is Best for You?” The Foundation will accept only one application per agency for each of its grantmaking programs. However, organizations may submit an application in both programs if:
- the applications are for two different activities or programs
- neither application is for general operating support
Applications must be postmarked between May 15 and August 15 of the current year.
