Standard and mini grant applications must be submitted through our online grant portal system. Access to the system is available by clicking the ‘Applicant and Grantee Login’ button below. There is also a link to login to the system in the upper right-hand corner of our website homepage.
Before beginning a standard or mini grant application you must contact our program director Katie Berkedal to discuss your request. She will qualify your organization as eligible to apply, determine if your request aligns with our granting priorities, confirm access to the online portal, and provide an access code for the correct application form. Please contact Katie well in advance of a deadline to give yourself plenty of time to work on the application. The program director’s role is to help applicants submit the best proposal possible, so never hesitate to reach out with any questions.
