In preparation for submitting your application, we encourage you to compose the proposal in Microsoft Word and once it is ready, copy and paste content directly into the foundation’s online application. Check the website often as dates may need to shift for unforeseen circumstances.

Detailed application instructions and a downloadable Application Overview PDF can be found under How to Apply.

Please Note: if you received a declination in response to your proposal and are planning to resubmit, please contact Aki Amai, Grants Manager, to discuss your program prior to applying again.
