“The Foundation continually strives to improve its grant applications and application processes.  Our applications are tweaked between grant cycles to make them more user-friendly and reader-friendly.  As a result, our on-line application system cannot be accessed from February 4-June 1 and August 4-November15 while changes are made.

However, we have posted PDFs of our grant applications so that potential applicants can view the most recent versions of the applications.  We expect that minor changes will be made prior to the next deadline, but the general framework of the application and the gist of the questions will remain the same.  Thus, if someone wishes to begin completing an application while our on-line system is down, s/he may begin crafting answers to the application questions and can paste the answers into the application once the system is turned back on.

If you wish to apply for a grant, please revisit the web site after June 1 for the August 1 deadline and November 15 for the February 1 deadline in order to access our on-line application system.”
