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.
To request funding for a specific project or program, use the application below that corresponds to the amount of your funding request. Please submit your request 60-90 days before the grant is needed. If the funds are being requested for a sponsorship, please submit at least 90 days prior to the event to allow for marketing and advertising. If you are submitting for a matching grant, please email a confirmation of match to grants@islandthriftoakharbor.org once you know the final amount.
