Applying for a Grant

Please submit proposals and attachments online.

Due to the disruption the pandemic has caused for so many, the Board has decided to extend the proposal deadline to be due January 31. In addition, the 3-year rule will not apply this year. Previously, if you have received funding for the previous 3 years, you have to take a year off. That rule will not apply for the upcoming year.
