Grant proposals are initially reviewed prior to each monthly board meeting. Organizations may be contacted to provide more information, or in some cases to give a brief presentation of the grant proposal to the board of directors. Funding decisions are based on factors such as the number of people served, the organization’s needs and abilities, and the potential for additional funding sources. Funding announcements are typically made within 14 days following the meeting.
