If you are a returning grantee, please make sure that your previous grant report has been approved, as we do not accept applications if you currently have an open grant. If you are not sure if your organization has an open grant, please contact us.

Grants are awarded between $2,500 to $50,000. Organizations may apply for one-time or multi-year grants. For multi-year grants, the total amount requested for the 1st and 2nd payment cannot exceed $50,000.
