Application Process

The foundation accepts applications exclusively through an online application process. Applications for the upcoming funding cycle will be accepted online between August 1, 2022 (applications open at 12:00p.m.) and August 12, 2022 (application deadline is 12:00p.m.), and will be considered at the September 2022 board meeting.

If an organization’s application is denied, the organization must wait one year (from the decision date) before reapplying.
