Q: Can I apply for a grant if our parent organization is outside of the geographical area (Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and DeSoto Counties) but supports people within the required area?
A: Yes - even if your parent organization is located out of our required geographical area but you are supporting groups or students within the area, you may apply for a grant. Preference is given to organizations located within the geographic designations.
Q: Should I schedule a meeting with the Foundation President prior to submitting a grant proposal?
A: An appointment is not required before submitting an application. However, non-profit executives are encouraged to have an annual strategic discussion appointment with our President, Dr. Sarah Pappas, where a review of all funding priorities can be discussed. Any specific questions regarding either the application process or the terms of outstanding grants should be directed to Evan Jones, Grants Manager.

A: Not yet. We are currently working to make online submissions a reality, but for now you may only view the guidelines on the website. Grant applications must still be submitted via mail or dropped off in person.
