Apply for a Foundation Grant
These are challenging times for individuals and organizations in our community. Our grantmaking budget is also feeling the impact and will be reduced in 2009.
The Saint Paul Foundation is has developed a plan to use a significant part of our grant dollars for the remainder of 2009 and throughout 2010 to provide support to those individuals and families most affected by the poor economy.
As a result, we will not be accepting proposals or making grants for major capital/endowment campaigns in 2009 and 2010.
We will continue to accept proposals submitted in accordance with our regular grant guidelines to fund other types of projects using our remaining grant dollars.
If you have questions about submitting a grant request, please contact the program officer assigned to grantmaking within your area of interest.
To apply or send a letter of inquiry, we ask that you first review our grant guidelines and the complete application packet before applying (see below). If you need paper copies of these forms, please contact us.
