How to Apply

The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation utilizes an online grant application. Potential grant applicants must represent organizations based and operated out of Dakota, Hennepin and Ramsey counties of Minnesota and must align with our giving focus areas.

When invited by the Foundation to submit an online Letter of Intent (LOI), applicants will be contacted with the necessary information to complete the online form. Applicants will be notified within 14 days of receipt of the LOI. The deadline for completed LOIs is February 15, 2012, 5:00pm (CST). If the LOI determination is approved, applicants will be informed via e-mail and invited to complete the online Grant Proposal.

The deadline for completed grant proposals is February 29, 2012, 5:00pm (CST). Proposals are reviewed during the May Board Meeting. Applicants will be notified by mail as to whether or not the grant was approved.

Grants offered by the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation will be monitored for outcome. Upon completion of the project/program, a final report on the project/program is to be filed with the Foundation. The report is to be filed at the online grant application site. Prior grantees must have all grant reports due to the Foundation filed before another LOI is accepted. Please respond by the requested report date with information outlined in the online report form. Direction will be provided via an e-mail reminder regarding the report. Timely submission is required for receipt of scheduled grant payments.

The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation does not accept unsolicited Letters of Intent or Grant Proposals.
