Deciding on the proposal
Often, the foundation will request additional information in writing from applicants. We might also consult with persons knowledgeable about the proposed activities and we welcome your suggestions as to who might be qualified to assist us in our review of your proposal. The foundation's Board of Directors makes final decisions on proposals. You will be informed of the Board's decision immediately following the board meeting at which your proposal is discussed. If a grant is awarded, you will be asked to sign a grant agreement that lays out reporting and other requirements. |
Meeting with Foundation Staff
The foundation welcomes the opportunity to meet with possible grantees.We prefer, however, to postpone such meeting until after we receive a letter of inquiry, in order to determine if a meeting will be useful. |
