Overview
The Foundation knows that community needs aren’t limited to times when grant cycles have open applications, and that there are many more nonprofits doing important work than we can fund through our impact area grants.
The Responsive Grantmaking program is available to nonprofits that are not current impact area grantees but whose work is responsive to the goals of one or more of the Foundation’s impact areas. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed quarterly. Organizations may submit one application per fiscal year.
Competitive applications will have a clear connection between their program and overall goals for the related Impact Area(s).
