Application Method
Applications are reviewed quarterly by the Board of Trustees at meetings held in March, June, September, and December. Interested organizations should contact Program Partner Jared Boone via email to discuss eligibility and application procedures. Much of the fund's support is committed to long-term organizational partnerships, so availability for new funding is limited.
