Information for Prospective Applicants

No doubt you just want to get cracking on downloading and filling out the application forms. However, we encourage you to browse all the resources available from this page:

• First, be sure you understand how our grant programs work. This is important, because your signature on the application forms confirms that you read the material and understood it. If there is something you don't understand, give us a call and ask for the grant administrator.
• Of particular interest are our notes on your chances of getting a grant.
• Please also familiarize yourself with our grantmaking schedule.
• If you haven't already done so, we'd like you to register so that we can keep you informed. Registering will also give us some advance warning about how many applicants we should be expecting.
• And, of course, there are the forms themselves. They're all new for the 2011 application period, so you need to download the new ones even if you've already got the the old ones.

  Prospective applicants should read all the pages available under the menu items "Grant Programs" and "For Applicants" to fully inform themselves about the requirements for application.
