Apply For A Grant

All grant requests must be submitted through the Foundation’s online application. We support only 501(c)(3) organizations, and do not provide funding to individuals or politically partisan groups. Please review our Funding Priorities for more information about the types of organizations and geographies we support.

New Applicants

We have a two-step process for new applicants that begins with an LOI. After careful review of each LOI, the Foundation will let applicants know whether they should submit a full grant application.

Who: Organizations who are not current grantees should submit an LOI as the first step in the grant application process. This applies to any organization that is new to the Foundation or whose last grant was awarded before 2021.
