Grant Cycle

The grant cycle is now closed for 2025. Check back for updated information in early 2026.

Contact our Strategic Partnerships team for more information, including how to apply.

Current Grantees

If you plan to apply for a grant during the current cycle, please contact your program officer for the invitation code. About the application planning process:

  • Nonprofits can only receive one (1) grant per calendar year
  • Requests must be for an upcoming grant cycle and cannot be back-dated for a grant term that has concluded. For example, if applying for a summer program, keep in mind that decisions will not be made until the fall of the current calendar year; therefore, funding requests should be for the following year’s summer program.
  • Please note, due to the large volume of applications, we are unable to provide feedback or guidance on areas of consideration regarding your application.
