For their New Haven grantmaking - Make sure you meet the guidelines and focus populations. Try to have organization staff develop a relationship with foundation staff to ensure program is a fit.

The ED is very accessible and is clear and open about the foundation's priorities. It's a good idea to contact them in advance, because the foundation's focus areas are quite narrow. Staff is sensitive to the fact that our time is limited, and is willing to have an open conversation about whether a prospective grantee's program is right for the foundation.

They follow their guidelines really closely--make sure you're working with middle school kids, in the metro, and using good evaluation.
