The Foundation has a variety of deadlines, depending upon grant opportunity. Deadlines are listed on the Foundation website and on Foundant. Log onto Foundant, the grant management system, and view the Apply Page. This page will show any current open grant opportunities for which you may apply. To submit a letter of inquiry (LOI) or an application, click on the blue “Apply” button under the grant opportunity for which you would like to apply. If you do not see a grant opportunity on the list, the LOI or application process is not currently open. If you have been provided an access code, you may enter it in the upper right hand corner to reveal the grant opportunity for which you have been invited to apply.
