Submission method

Timeline for response

  • The foundation trustees meet periodically and make all funding decisions. Please be patient.  We are generally unable to accommodate urgent requests.

Likelihood of success

  • We have a limited grant budget and receive more requests than we have money to fund.  We do our best to support the things we think most aligned with our work but inevitably we have to disappoint some applicants. A rejection is not a comment on the worthiness of your proposal.  We hope you understand.
