Professional in the field

Check the application as it exists in the portal--the 2023 application template was missing questions that were required in the portal, which made what you thought was the "end" of the process a little more stressful.

Pros

I am a newbie to foundationland. I didn't know the application process. I didn't even know there *was* an application process.

The WFF Executive Director was approachable and invested. She immediately understood our mission, and even helped me crystallize some things in my head.

I'd recommend trying to meet with someone from the family, if possible, or any of their amazingly available staff.

Enjoyed the opportunity to meet and speak with the program officer. I appreciate the Foundation has narrowed its focus on causes to support. It's great to know where a funder stands which may or may not align with certain worthy missions. I have zero doubt the Foundation supports the work of our organization. Our conversations will not stop.
