The Board of Trustees meets in July to consider grant requests. The application deadline is May 1st, except that in the case of capital or endowment requests, organizations must first submit a letter of inquiry by January 15th. If approved, the organization may then submit a formal grant application for the May 1st deadline. In addition to the application form, all proposals must include the organization's most recent audited financial statement (paper copy or disk), current operating budget, and any appropriate support letters. The Althans Foundation's policy requires a one-year hiatus in grantmaking to any organization that has received grants for three consecutive years. All qualified applicants will receive acknowledgement when the application is received and written notification of the Trustees' decision within several weeks of each meeting. The Foundation reserves the right to contact other funders or professionals in the field regarding a grant request. All grant recipients are required to submit a final report on the use of grant funds. The Althans Foundation actively monitors and evaluates the outcomes of grant awards, and therefore the timely submission of a grant report is extremely important. If a grant recipient is unable to meet the reporting deadline, we request that the Foundation be contacted in writing or by phone prior to the due date. No new grant requests will be considered until a satisfactory report has been received. Access Online Grant Report Form Board of Trustees Staff Applications and inquiries should be directed to: |
