Application Procedures

Please send a brief preliminary letter of introduction (LOI) addressed to Ms. Victoria B. Rogers, President. Initial correspondence must include the following information in order to be considered by the Foundation:

• Brief purpose and History of Organization
• Brief outline of program/project for which funds are being sought
• Program/project budget
• Specific amount being requested from Foundation
• Geographic area, demographics of population, and the number of individuals served annually
• List of Board of Directors
• Current Operating Budget and most recent audited financials (if not available, please provide most recent financial statement)
• Copy of IRS Exemption Letter
• Funding History (10 largest grants received in the last three fiscal years including grantor name, purpose, amount and date awarded)

The proposal narrative should be no more than two pages and include the attachments mentioned above. (Please do not send newsletters, brochures, etc.) Please do not email the LOI, the Foundation does not accept proposals by email or fax.

If it is determined from the letter of inquiry that the proposed project may meet the Foundation’s priorities and interests, an application will be provided. Regrettably, the availability of grant funds permits a favorable response to only a limited number of requests. Lack of approval bears no reflection on the worthiness and merit of the proposal and organization submitting the request.
