Eligibility Criteria Organizations or fiscal sponsors must be tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), as verified by the IRS Tax Exemption Organization Search.

Applicants’ scopes of work must have a clear public presentation component, verified by staff review of the application. Applicants may submit only one application for each individual grant program.

Applicants should decide which grant program best aligns with their project goals and apply to that specific program. If your project is awarded, that specific project cannot be funded again. Sequential projects or a series of related projects, with unique attributes, features, or iterations, are eligible provided that subsequent applications do not replicate the content or objectives of previous submissions.
