The Foundation recognizes that impactful work often begins before formal nonprofit status is established. Organizations that do not yet have a nonprofit designation may apply for funding from the Foundation utilizing an eligible fiscal sponsor, provided both the fiscal sponsor and the sponsored organization and its project align with the Foundation’s mission and eligibility requirements. A fiscal sponsor is an IRC 501(c)(3) organization that agrees to receive and manage grant funds on behalf of another organization.
Any organization that intends to utilize a fiscal sponsor should contact a member of the Foundation’s program team before beginning an application.
The Foundation currently offers one grant cycle per year. For details, visit our Healthy Communities Initiative page.
Applicants will need to provide organizational financial statements and an organizational budget. An audit is not required. The Foundation does not require applicants to use a specific project budget form. As a resource for applicants, the Foundation has created a sample project budget and a project budget template. Applicants are welcome to use either document if it is helpful; however, they are also welcome to design their project budget in their preferred format. If you have questions related to your organizational financial statements, contact Tracy Teams, Senior Director of Administration and Finance.
The Foundation does not typically provide grants for academic scholarships, capital items over $2,500, endowments, general operating costs, indirect costs, individuals, playground equipment, vehicles, or retroactive funding. The Foundation may consider or exclude additional types of expenses on a case-by-base basis.
