Open Grantmaking

We highly recommend submitting your proposal through our RFP process, as very limited funding is available outside of RFPs.

Organizations that apply through the open application process must still advance a specific Foundation objective and should only apply through our open grantmaking if it is for an urgent opportunity that would not be possible through a future RFP. Applications submitted through this process are considered on a rolling basis. For more information, you can contact the staff member associated with the relevant Foundation objective or submit an application at any time through our Grants Portal.
