Reviewer 5223 - Did not apply
We did not apply. This grant maker's requirements are weirdly difficult - like they want five individual hardcopies sent, but - get this! - they EACH need to be sent to five different addresses, to each of the five trustees at their own home addresses. I've been in the grant writing business for 20 years and have never heard of such a burdensome requirement.
#2 the deadline is January 31, but they say the proposals are reviewed at their MAY meeting. Huh? They want us to bust our butts for a deadline and then they SIT on them for FOUR months?
My client was perfectly suited to this grant maker's requirements in location and sector. I steered my client away from this one.
Difficult to work with, Bureaucratic

They answered emails in a timely manner (good), but the requirement to send five copies to five different addresses (bad), hence the mid-rating averaging it.
Bad
They are definitely not getting smaller nonprofits that do not have the resources to jump through these hoops, wait four months, etc.
Stop requiring grant seekers to send five copies to five different addresses - stuff does get stalled in the mail, and now instead of one point of failure, there are five. This is burdensome for small nonprofits, and even larger nonprofits. Stop requiring us to waste our time and resources just for your convenience. Or maybe this is some kind of sadistic "test". Or maybe your quirky way of limiting the number of proposals you get. And stop requiring proposals FOUR MONTHS before you meet to decide on them.
They answer emails in a timely fashion.
