This is one of the most difficult questions for us to answer.
Denials for grant requests occur for a variety of reasons, including failure to meet the Foundation’s criteria and guidelines as articulated in its website, failure to demonstrate sufficient need for the grant, or lack of interest by the Foundation’s board members in the mission or project of the organization making the request.
Unfortunately, due to the volume of grant requests we receive, we are unable to respond to individual requests for more information on a particular denial of a grant request.

Yes! If your grant request was rejected because it did not meet the requirements of our Eligibility Quiz, you are welcome to reapply after adjusting the goals of your program to align with our areas of focus, or waiting until it has been at least 12 months since the last time you have received a grant from us.
If your grant request was successfully submitted, but rejected by the Foundation’s board members, you may still reapply, but we ask that you do not resubmit a new grant request for another 18 months.
