Thank you for your interest in partnering with us. Our team takes a proactive approach to identifying grantee partners. We scan the landscape for organizations aligned with our mission and areas of interest and learn from other funders and field leaders.
However, we are always open to hearing more about organizations and projects that are new to us and welcome inquiries from prospective partners.
We have provided an online interest form below and eligibility guidance to help you gauge alignment with our strategy prior to spending time completing the form. We will respond to your inquiry within ten business days.
Current partners with questions about grants should contact their program officer.
Eligibility
Eligibility for our grantmaking is based on alignment with our mission and priorities, as well as how an organization’s work complements the efforts of our portfolio of current grantees.
Prospective grantees are evaluated on a case-by-case basis through internal research, introductory calls, and conversations with other funders and field leaders.
