The 2023 Summer Fund Application represents a shift in the Fund's grantmaking practices in response to the capacity constraints that many of our partners are presently experiencing. We will not be requesting any narrative data, as has been the standard in previous years.
During our reporting process at the end of this summer we will be requesting data from our partners regarding the youth that your program served, program successes and challenges, and use of funds. Collecting this data allows us to assess gaps in our grantmaking, identify barriers to access within our portfolio, communicate effectively with funders, and make decisions that are grounded in geographical and racial equity.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, however we will plan to begin making grant decisions on Friday, April 14th. We therefore encourage all of our partners to submit their applications in advance of April 14th to be considered for funding in May.
If you have any questions regarding this webform, please reach out to Sean Higgins.
