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.
