Grant Application Procedures

Kindly note that the Foundation is currently not accepting new funding applications.  Given the Foundation’s most recent funding commitments and existing multi-year engagements, we have reached our full granting capacity for 2024 and 2025.  We look forward to reopening the application process in the Fall of 2025.
