Online Grant Application

This form is designed to assist you in applying for a grant from The Meadows Foundation online. We do not encourage letters of intent or inquiries. Please include all of the information that you would include in a hard copy version in your online application.

You may wish to format your information in a word processing program, then “paste” the finished product onto this form under the appropriate headings. Please do not attempt to attach files to this form, as the Foundation cannot guarantee the compatibility of word processing programs. The entire form must be completed in order for your application to be considered for review.

You will receive confirmation of receipt of your electronic submission within approximately two working days. Applications are generally processed within three to four months. Should the Foundation require additional information to process your request, a Meadows Foundation grants program officer will contact you. The Foundation discourages pre-application meetings, preferring to schedule meetings, if needed, after receiving an application.

While the Foundation accepts grant applications online, it cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information transmitted over the Internet. A printed copy of information that you cannot or do not wish to transmit over the Internet (e.g. organization's current operating budget, audited financial statements, year-to-date financial statements and/or I.R.S. Letter of Tax Exemption) should be sent to The Meadows Foundation and clearly identified as an addendum to your application.
