PROPOSAL INFORMATION
| DEADLINES:
MONTHLY MEETINGS (proposals received and processed will receive a
confirmation letter advising the month for review - usually the
following month). |
| The Trustees meet and review proposals monthly
or more often when necessary. |
| If your organization is awarded a grant, we
request that your organization wait ONE 1-year before reapplying. |
| Unfortunately, if you are not funded, we may
not be able to give you a specific reason; however, you may reapply at
any time. It is simply not possible to fund all worthwhile
projects. Seeking a grant from this Trust is a competitive process.
