Grant Process
The National Grid Foundation requires a one-page Executive Summary (also known as the proposal) of your request, including: program/project title and description; number of people in organization/program serves; justification for support; visibility opportunities; and level of proposed grant request. Please upload your proposal into our CyberGrants portal after you have taken the Eligibility Quiz.
We operate our grant cycle on an annual basis from January through December. Only one application per organization (or affiliate institution) will be evaluated in any given year. Proposals will generally be reviewed on a quarterly basis after which all applicants will be notified in writing if a grant has been awarded or declined.
If a grant is awarded, a new proposal will not be considered for a period of one year from the award date. If you did not receive a grant, you may reapply 12 months from the date of your last grant application.
