To Apply for a Grant

The next grant application deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, October 8, 2010. Hard copies of the applications must be received in our office prior to then to be eligible for the Fall 2010 funding cycle.

1. Complete the Philanthropy Northwest Common Grant Application Form, including the narrative section.
2. We ask that you submit one (1) complete application and four (4) copies. Copies do not need to contain the 990 tax filing or the audited financial statement.
3. Please include applicant contact email(s) in the signature block of your cover letter.

Grant applications will be evaluated by our Grants Committee consisting of board members and community volunteers. A visit to your organization's site may be requested as part of the evaluation process.

After careful consideration, the Grants Committee submits their recommendations to the Board of Directors for final action. The recipient of a grant is expected to use the funds for the purpose intended and in the timeframe represented in the application. All recipients are required to send a Grant Report Form to The Foundation every six months until the full grant amount is spent and to provide a final narrative and fiscal report on all projects funded. Grant distributions are made during two annual cycles.
