| OUR PROPOSAL REVIEW PROCESS |
|
| All funding grant applications
will be screened by the Foundation to determine if they meet the
funding guidelines, and then responses will be sent to the applicants.
We may contact applicants at this phase to clarify application details.
If the application meets all Foundation guidelines, a more in-depth
review of the request will be undertaken. This process may take
several weeks and is dependent on the size and details of the
request. The Foundation may ask the applicant to provide a more
detailed proposal, or may ask for additional clarification of
application details. Organizations chosen to receive funding grants
will be asked to provide Internal Revenue Service classification
documentation.
Applications that do not follow the above guidelines will not
be considered. |
