Grant Proposal Process
What happens to a grant proposal once it is submitted?
Once the full proposal is received, the program staff and volunteer grant researchers will conduct a comprehensive review of the project, possibly including a site visit. The Foundation reserves the right to review your application with community planning agencies, resource people and/or other funding sources when we feel their input would be helpful in assessing your proposal and its potential significance.
The application is then forwarded to a grants advisory committee for consideration. Committee members make a recommendation to the Foundation Board of Trustees to do one of three things:
- Approve the proposal as it stands, or with possible alterations or contingencies
- Table the proposal
- Decline funding
Applicants will be notified of the decision regarding their application within two months of the deadline. If a grant is approved, a contract will be issued. Once the contract is returned, a check will be distributed in accordance with the contract. The contract will also address reporting guidelines.
