How to apply

How to apply

Applicants should complete an online letter of inquiry in which the applicant provides a basic introduction to its project and organization and provides the purpose of its grant request. All applicants must complete an online letter of inquiry which are accepted on a rolling basis. If after reviewing the online letter of inquiry, the foundation determines that the project fits its funding goals, an invitation to submit a full proposal is sent via email. If an applicant receives an email requesting the submission of a full proposal, the applicant should follow the instructions at the foundation's website at http://www.publicwelfare.org/grants/apply-for-a-grant/

Deadlines

Letters of inquiry are examined on a rolling basis.

Restrictions

The public welfare foundation supports efforts to ensure fundamental rights and opportunities for people in need. We look for carefully defined points where our funds can make a difference in bringing about systemic changes that can improve lives. We focus in two program areas: Criminal justice and youth justice.
