Online Application Form

The Heinz Endowments welcomes applications from nonprofit organizations whose projects and programs meet the foundation's criteria for funding. This is explained in the "How to Apply" section of this site.

In an effort to make the application process more convenient and efficient, the foundation offers an online form as a substitute for a paper document, the traditional letter of inquiry that comes to us through regular mail or facsimile.

You do not need to complete this form in one sitting. Our system assigns applicants to an online account, which allows up to two weeks of work time before submitting. To use this feature, follow the directions on the form.

After completing the form, click on the "submit" button at the bottom of the page. You will receive an immediate confirmation that your application has been received, and you will have access to a printable copy. Please note, however, that after you hit the "submit" button, you will no longer be able to log in to access the online form. As with our traditional letter of inquiry, you will be notified as quickly as possible about the status of your application, including whether further information is required.

You will need to have cookies enabled in your Web browser in order to complete this application form. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS ONLINE APPLICATION IF YOUR REQUEST IS FOR OPERATING SUPPORT OR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, OR IF IT IS IN RESPONSE TO A FORMAL REQUEST-FOR-PROPOSALS.
