Application Process & Timeline
The foundation operates fixed grant cycles twice per year (Spring and Fall). Partnerships develop organically through referrals from existing partners, open application cycles, and connections through their network. They do not accept unsolicited proposals outside of announced cycles. When application cycles are open, organisations should visit their website and click on the "Apply for Funding" tab for detailed guidelines. Each organisation can submit only one application per funding cycle.
