I'd advise other grant seekers that Autzen is a tough nut to crack, has an extensive, confusing application, and makes pretty small grants at the end of the day. They don't seem able to share when they will make funding decisions.

Cons

Doesn't "get" nonprofits and issues, Bureaucratic

Read the directions for supplemental materials very carefully. We submitted financial documents for the wrong fiscal year, based on an incorrect interpretation of what they wanted. Our proposal was discarded before being reviewed for that demerit.

Reviewer 351 - Grant Applicant - applied in 2017

The foundation hired a new director in 2016 and we immediately had great rapport when we solicited a meeting. Her responsiveness since then has declined somewhat, but she assured us that the board is passionate about our mission, which encouraged us to prioritize them in our communications and has resulted in larger gifts.

Pros

Friendly, "Gets" nonprofits and issues, Openminded
