Applicants should confirm that their project/program matches the Funder's interest. This information can be found under the Funders tab for each Funder.
Make sure to verify the deadlines for each Funder - Deadlines are different for each Funder.
The participating Funders have agreed to accept the online Common Grant Application with the following requirements:
Funders require all sections be completed.
Some Funders require a letter of inquiry before applying.
Some Funders require a cover letter to accompany the grant request.
Funders may require additional information.
The following Funders require a letter of inquiry:
Carnahan-Jackson Foundation
Judith J. Anderson Family Foundation
Gebbie Foundation, Inc.
The Lenna Foundation
After reviewing the letter of inquiry, the Funder will determine whether a potential match exists between the funding priorities of the Funder and the proposed project. At this time you will receive confirmation to submit an online grant request. It should not be assumed that such a request is an indication of funding.
The following Funders require a cover letter to accompany the grant application:
Ralph C. Sheldon Foundation, Inc.
Holmberg Foundation
If a Funder does not require a LOI, please proceed directly to the grant application.

Once an application is received, it will be reviewed to determine if additional information is needed. Supporting materials may be requested, due to the widely varying purposes of grants and to ensure fair consideration of every grant received. In some cases, a site visit may be scheduled to discuss the project and to meet key members of the requesting organization.
Please note that the Funders can only fund a fraction of the requests that are reviewed. In many cases, excellent proposals cannot be funded as they fall outside of the Funder's current focus. A denial of funding is not necessarily a reflection of the program or proposal but is the result of a highly competitive process.
