    How to Apply

    Grants

                 This is our primary grant program through which we award approximately $2.5 million in grants every year. The median grant award is $45,000 and multi-year grants are seldom awarded. Applications begin with a letter of inquiry and are accepted three times a year. Learn More

    Cash Flow Loans

      This program offers low interest cash flow loans to qualifying nonprofits who are experiencing delayed receivables, such as late grant payments or other reimbursable expenses. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. Learn More

    Discretionary Grants

      These are smaller, but often more responsive grants. Awards range from $500 to $2,500. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. Learn More
