First: call us or use our on-line inquiry form

We’re pleased to help you assess if your project falls within our mission. We can also let you know if the Trust has supported similar projects. If you haven’t previously applied to the Trust, we especially encourage you to talk with our staff before submitting a full proposal.

See contact us for our phone number and the online inquiry form

However, you reach us, we'll want to know a little bit about:

• Your organization and who it serves
• What you want us to fund
• Why the project is important now
• How much it will cost and how much you want the trust to contribute

Second:  if your project meets our guidelines, send a full proposal
The Trust currently awards grants once a year.  Grant applications should be postmarked by May 1st.  Awards will be announced in August. Applications should follow the instructions listed on our Proposal Checklist.
