Proposals
If the executive director of the Foundation feels that the idea has merit and might be considered by the Foundation’s directors, full proposal guidelines will be forwarded to the charity.
Proposals are accepted from charities year round. The Foundation does not have formal deadlines, but proposals should be received no later than mid-February (in order to be considered at the spring meeting of the directors) or early August (in order to be considered at the fall meeting of the directors). These approximate deadlines allow the executive director to review the request, conduct the necessary research, ask further questions, and develop a summary for the Board. This due diligence is an important part of the vetting process, so late or last-minute requests are not usually accepted.
