When a letter of inquiry most closely reflects the Foundation's program priorities, we will request a full proposal. Since the Foundation requests more proposals than it can fund, you should not interpret such a request as an indication of likely support. Often we will request additional information from applicants. We might also consult with persons knowledgeable about your proposal and we welcome your suggestions as to who might be qualified to assist us in our review. More importantly, we will try to meet with applicants either in our Incline Village office or at the applicant's office or project site.
Personal contacts are a necessity of all of our grant making programs.
Final decisions on proposals are made by the Foundation's Board of Trustees, which meets quarterly. You will be informed of the Board's decision immediately following the Board meeting at which your proposal is discussed. Approved grants are conditional upon acceptance of the terms of a Grant Agreement, which lays out reporting and other requirements. The Arthur B. Schultz Foundation no longer considers any type of grant request from individuals. There will be no response to requests from individuals.
