Q. Will the Foundation consider proposals that address an area of interest other than minority academic achievement?
A. Not at this time.
Q. What is the Foundation’s application review process?
A. Grant applications received on or before January 15 each year will be reviewed for completeness and applicants will be notified of any missing information on or before February 1. Applicants selected for site visits will be notified as soon as possible thereafter and the Foundation will contact them to set up a visit time before April 15. The Foundation Advisors will meet during April or early May and notify applicants of grants awarded on or before May 15.
Q. If a site visit is requested, what should I expect? What will I need to prepare for your visit?
A. If you are selected for a site visit, we will send you
information on what to expect. You do not need to prepare
any additional information.
Q. If our organization is awarded a grant, what are the
reporting requirements and deadline?
A. The Foundation will provide that information to you once the grant has been awarded.
Q. If awarded a grant, will our organization need to reapply in subsequent years?
A. If a multi-year grant is approved, the organization will not need to reapply, but it will need to provide an interim progress report. If only one year is applied for and/or approved, then the organization would need to reapply for any additional grants.
Q. Can we submit more than one grant request proposal per grant cycle?
A. We would prefer to receive only one grant proposal from a given organization.
Q. What if I have additional questions or need help preparing my proposal?
A. Contact the Foundation by email at info@fordhamstreet.org or call 425-451-2516.
