Those who have a project that addresses an RFP should submit a proposal to the foundation. Eight RFPs are currently live on its website.

The foundation’s aim, according to its website, is to make the process for applying for a grant more open. A broad range of organizations - including those who have never worked with the foundation - can apply for the RFPs.

For each of the RFPs, the foundation will host an optional informational webinar covering such details as eligibility, process, and timeline. Attendees will be able to ask questions during the webinar. 

Attendance at webinars has no impact on an organization’s ability to apply or be considered for funding. Webinars will be recorded and posted to the foundation’s website within two business days. Registration for the webinars is now open.

Eight RFPs

The eight RFP options on the foundation’s website are in the areas of:

  • Arts Education (Arts and Culture)

  • Arts and Culture Programming (Arts and Culture)

  • Arts and Culture Capital Improvements (Arts and Culture)

  • Mental and Behavioral Health Services (Children and Families)

  • Out-of-School Learning (Children and Families)
