Grantmaking falls into two basic categories: grants in response to proposals and grants in response to donor recommendation. We receive unsolicited proposals only for grants that will be awarded on a competitive basis. The Community Foundation, Jenkins Foundation, and Sheltering Arms Fund consider proposals two times each year. The Gray Foundation considers proposals only in the summer funding cycle.
Separate deadlines apply to special award programs and for the Youth Philanthropy Project. |
