How to apply

How to apply
Application form not required. Proposals should be submitted via the Foundation's online application portal on its website. Before submitting a formal grant request, prospective grantees are encouraged to submit an informal inquiry to fdns@woodruff.org. The grant requests should be made in letter form and include the following information: - A description of the organization, its purposes, programs, staffing and governing board - The organization's latest financial statements including the most recent audit report - A description of the proposed project and full justification for its funding - An itemized project budget including other sources of support in hand or anticipated - Evidence from the IRS of the organization's tax-exempt status and that the applying organization itself is not a private foundation.
Deadlines
Grant applications are considered in April and Nov. for requests received by Feb. 1 and Aug. 15th.
Restrictions
The Foundation makes grants to public charities located in Georgia and Virginia, with a particular focus on private secondary and higher education, arts and culture, and museums and historic preservation. Grants in Georgia are typically reserved for organizations operating in metropolitan Atlanta; grants in Virginia are typically reserved only for those organizations that Mrs. Lettie Pate Evans supported during her life. Traditionally, preference has been given to one-time capital projects and to other extraordinary needs of well-established organizations with a broad base of community support and proven ability to meet an annual operating budget. Grants for regular operating expenses are avoided. No grants are made to individuals.
