How to Apply

Grant Applications may be submitted anytime during the year; however, grants will only be reviewed two times per year as noted below.  Exceptions are Member Congregation Mini Grants (up to $5,000) which are accepted, reviewed, and acted upon throughout the year. 

Application Deadlines Board Decision Dates
December 1 February 28
June 1 August 31


When the application deadline falls on a weekend, the deadline is extended to the following Monday. Proposals must be received by the Foundation (not post-marked) by the stated deadline. In fairness to all, the Foundation does not extend deadlines for any reason.
