The Foundation has one funding cycle per year, which runs from September to June.
All letters of intent (LOI) for any given funding cycle are received on a rolling basis to be invited to submit a full proposal. Invitations for proposals will be sent within 45 days of receiving the LOI. Funding decisions will be made in September and grantees will be notified in October. Upon completion, grantees must report project outcomes to the Foundation. Three to five proposals may be funded annually.
Grant support ranges up to $25,000 and may be provided as a one-time grant or for up to four years.
