Application Procedure

Pre-application Letter

Before submitting a complete proposal, applicants must send a brief letter of inquiry, not to exceed two pages, describing the organization or project for which support is sought. The pre-application letter is not an optional step; please do not send a full proposal.

If you are invited to submit a full proposal, you will be asked to furnish the following information:

• A succinct narrative that describes your organization, outlines the issue or problem your organization or project is addressing, explains in specific terms your goals and strategies, and tells who will be performing the work. The narrative should explain how you evaluate the effectiveness of your organization or how you plan to evaluate the success of the proposed project.
• The amount requested
• An organizational budget and, if requesting support for a project, a separate project budget
• Information about other financial support received or expected
• A copy of your organization’s IRS 501(c)(3) notification letter

All information must be mailed to:
