Our staff will review all applications. Qualified applications will be presented to our board for final approval or declination. This process can take several months, as our board meets twice per year. During review of your request, if we require additional information, we will contact you. Due to the high volume of requests we receive, it is difficult to respond to each application individually with updates. We will communicate with you regarding the outcome of the grant review within seven days following a decision.
