Grantseekers who would like to send a preliminary request for funding are encouraged to submit a letter of inquiry. If the project described in the letter fits our guidelines, the grantseekers will be contacted and asked to submit a proposal in the our standard format - either online or in written format. A request to submit a proposal is not an indication of the foundation's intention or commitment to award a grant.

Please read the Program Guidelines and funding restrictions carefully to determine if your organization and project fits our grantmaking strategies.

You're invited to take the grantseeker Eligibility Quiz to help you determine eligibility. If you are still unsure about the appropriateness of your submission, please call Ben E. Factor at 212-123-4567 for further assistance.
