Funding Process

The grant application process for the Foundation is a three step process:

1. Review the Foundation's funding priorities and restrictions to make sure your request coincides with the Foundation's mission,

2. Provide a letter of inquiry (LOI) providing all of the information requested, and

3. If the Foundation approves the LOI, then a full grant proposal may be required for evaluation by staff and consideration by the Foundation Trustees.
