Getting Started

The first step in the process is to submit a letter of inquiry (LOI) to us, following the guidelines posted here.

 

Please do not submit a full proposal without first being invited by our staff to do so. Decisions on LOIs are conveyed at least one month before the proposal deadline to allow invited applicants sufficient time to prepare their full proposals.

​​

If we deny your proposal for funding, please wait one year from the date of your original proposal application to submit a new request to us.

​​

Important changes for 2026:

Please note that we will have only one grant round in the coming year as we wrap up a strategic planning process. We will post an update here once the process has been completed. We apologize for any inconvenience.
