The Trust's granting process evolved as the organization grew and matured, but remains a small part of our overall programs. We do work through grants when it is more practical or efficient then doing it with Trust staff. Our grant process has a predictable annual cycle. The deadline for grant submission is 15 October of each year. The Board of Directors considers grant proposals once a year at the December meeting. Preference is given to grants that maximize partnerships involving contributions of money, time, and expertise. For further information, grant guidelines and application, check the links below. An archive of past grants can also be accessed below.
