Foundation grant categories have individual seasonal cycles and application deadlines that occur once per year: the Spring Cycle for Environmental, the Fall Cycle for the Arts, and the Winter Cycle for Human Services. For educational organizations, apply under one of the other categories based on the organization’s mission and program content.
Discretionary awards are by nomination only and have no deadline and an annual cycle. Members of the Board of Directors initiate/nominate potential awardees. The discretionary awards nomination online form is open throughout the year. If your organization has been nominated for a discretionary award, please contact us. We do not accept unsolicited proposals for discretionary awards.
