Application Period
The application period for grant requests is January 26, 2017 - May 31, 2017.

Sample Application
Information to Collect for Application
As you can see by looking at the sample application, you will need to have the following information:
- the amount you are requesting
- the purpose of the grant
- discussion of how your project meets the Foundation's guidelines
- if the grant is a discrete component of a larger project, we will need a brief description of the larger project
- commencement and completion dates for your project
- source and amount of funds, pledges and cash available for this project
- percentage of your total departmental fundraising expenses to the amount of total departmental funds raised
The application will be an Adobe PDF file which is an online fillable form. Please fill in the form using the free Adobe Reader or a paid upgrade such as Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro (you can print it when you are done but you cannot save it with just Adobe Reader). You only have the space provided on the sample to submit your responses to our questions, so spend some time formulating those responses!
When you complete the application, you will need to print and send 2 copies to us.
In addition, you will need to send the following supporting documentation with the application - one copy each of:
- your organization's latest financial statements as certified by your auditors
- a specific budget for your project
- an annual report or a brief description of your organization
Furthermore, if you support another organization, for example a hospital supported by a Foundation applicant, you will also need to supply certified financial statements and annual report / brief description for that organization as well. Furthermore, the supporting organization must be a Type I, Type II, or functionally integrated Type III supporting organization. Foundation applicants must represent only a single institution.
This is all the information we need right now. If we are interested in funding your project, we will ask for additional information later.
As we are sure you understand, our policy is not to acknowledge receipt of materials or return them.
