How to Apply
To ensure an equitable process for all applicants, we do not answer eligibility or funding inquiries via email. Please use the “Eligibility Form” button on to see if your organization qualifies. If eligible, you will be directed to the application form.
How to Apply
The Process: If your project is eligible, you will receive an email containing the link to the formal application.
Documents: Once you receive the formal application, gather your W-9 form and any supporting documents including photographs that demonstrate your program or idea.
Submission Window: You have two weeks to complete the application after receiving the email. If it is not submitted within those 14 days, the link will expire and you will need to restart the eligibility process.
Fiscal Sponsorship: We welcome applications from fiscally sponsored projects or those applying under an umbrella organization.
Project Period: Ideally, your project should begin no earlier than June and conclude by the following June. This aligns best with our funding disbursement and reporting schedule.
