Do not send extensive collateral material. We will contact you if we require additional information. Discretionary grants are reviewed on an ongoing basis. You will receive an acknowledgment of receipt of your application and you will be informed of The Fund's decision within three months of the date the proposal is submitted. It is The Fund's policy not to award indirect costs of a grantee's institution.
Grants are generally for a one-year period, and there are no automatic renewals.
However, applications submitted via fax or e-mail will not be accepted. All applicants will be contacted in writing regarding the final determination on their grant. As a condition to funding, grant recipients must enter into a Terms of Grant Agreement stipulating certain terms and conditions. Applicants may apply for funding for existing projects or for new projects, and funds may be requested for staff and operating expenses. In addition, no funds may be used for any lobbying efforts or for any political expenditures.
