Application Method
Organizations must contact the Grants Manager, Christine Porter, at the foundation offices (216-623-4770) to obtain a grant application form. The Board of Trustees meets quarterly to consider grant requests. The foundation accepts a very limited number of new applicants each year, so organizations that have not previously received grants should reach out early to determine eligibility.
