Reviewer 568 - Grant Applicant - applied in 2017
They welcome calls and emails and are highly responsive. The online application is easy to use though the character limit can be challenging at first. It forces you to refine your message and really consider the maxim that "less is more."

This funder is very clear in its mission and is a bedrock of support for many of us.
Continue to be crystal clear in communication. If there are big changes in terms of funding priorities, let current grantees know enough in advance to plan around those changes.

Highly professional staff team. Know your stuff because they know theirs! You must be prepared for a site visit, don't skate through it. Be thoughtful and thorough.
They are responsive and realistic. They work hard to represent your application and ask as best they can to the decision makers. They've asked for additional information to help make that case and the process has always been, in our experience, more of a partnership.
