How to apply

Before you get started!

Step 1: Read the Grant Guidelines and Frequently Asked Questions. The Grant Guidelines will provide you with information on what the Trust will and will not fund, including our priority areas, while the FAQ further expands on the process.

Step 2: Review the eligibility quiz. The eligibility quiz gives you a look at the questions that will be asked before submitting a proposal online. It also provides a narrative on responses to those questions.

Step 3: Speak with Trust Staff. You are required to speak with a grants programs staff person prior to submitting a preliminary proposal if your organization has never received a Trust Grant. The Trust strongly suggests that former grantees also contact a grants programs staff person prior to submitting a preliminary proposal.
