Whether you are a new applicant or existing grantee, you will need to contact the foundation staff to discuss your organization and funding needs to determine alignment with the funder's priorities. They make it easy - you can send an email or schedule a phone call.

As a grant consultant, I have found accessibility to be better than many foundations. That said, my clients have had mixed results - some hear back pretty quickly, while others wait and have to followup to get a response.

I have heard that the funder is reviewing it's funding priorities and making some changes to better ensure that grant awards align with funding objecitives.

The executive director's prior input and invitation is critical

The Foundation has in the past funded several organizations that help seniors, but it does not appear to fund hospices. (I think that is a change.) Our organization is considering collaborating with a non-profit that helps seniors who are experiencing homelessness have a comfortable roof over their heads during the last days of their lives, and think that the Foundation may have a heart to invest in this critical need.
The executive director was exceedingly accessible. On very short notice the ED went out of her/his way to accommodate questions, including coming into the office to enable us to apply.
It acts quickly!
