How to apply

Before you get started!

Contact your local Trust office to speak with a program staff member prior to submitting your proposal if you fall under one of the following conditions:

• Newly incorporated organization - within the first three years of operation
• New grant seeking organization – never applied to the Trust
• Previous applicant, but unsuccessful
• Large request/capital campaign/special project

Organizations that have never received a Trust grant are required to speak with a grants programs staff person prior to submitting a preliminary proposal. The Trust strongly suggests that former grantees also contact a grants programs staff person prior to submitting a preliminary proposal.

For returning Trust Grantees, your current grant project must be complete and a grant evaluation report submitted to the Trust prior to applying for a new grant.
