The Process

We work in two cycles — Spring and Fall. We open for spring letters of intent (LOIs) the previous fall; we open for fall letters of intent (LOIs) the previous spring.

Invitations to apply are extended and denial notifications are sent to prospective grantees each cycle after their LOI is reviewed by program officers.

Site visits by program officers begin after an invited application is submitted and reviewed. Recommendations for funding are then submitted to the Board of Trustees. Board members approve or deny the requests at their respective Spring and Fall Board meetings. Awards are announced shortly after the board meeting.
