What is the difference between a pre-grant request and a formal application?
Submitting a pre-grant request is required if a grant seeker has never received a grant from the Foundation or if it has been several years since a grant was awarded. Please keep in mind that the Foundation receives many more pre-grant requests than could possibly be funded. If the pre-grant request fits within the funding priorities and interests of the Foundation, the organization may be invited to complete a formal application. The formal application will be reviewed at specific times of the year – social services formal applications in April; cultural & civic formal applications are reviewed in June and education formal applications are reviewed in August of each year.
