GRANT APPLICATION DEADLINES
February 15 - Spring board meeting
July 15 - Fall board meeting
There are a variety of ways to communicate with The Heinz Endowments about potential funding, from personal contact with a program officer to brief digital inquiries and/or full grant applications.
SHARE YOUR IDEA WITH US
CLICK HERE to submit a “Share Your Idea” form. A possible first step in being considered for funding for your project is to submit a brief “Share Your Idea” form; this short form will take about ten minutes to fill out. The intent of this form is to provide the Endowments’ program team with concise information about your idea and ensure it is routed to the appropriate program team member. This may be a more timely way for you or your organization to engage with the Endowments and enter the process for funding consideration. Information asked for on this form includes: a two or three sentence description of your grant concept, who your grant will most directly impact, and potential timeline. Our aim is to respond to all “Share Your Idea” form inquiries within 45 days.
GENERAL APPLICATION
CLICK HERE to create a new general application. This general application is appropriate for all grant applications unless you have been instructed to use a different form. However, if this is a first-time request to The Heinz Endowments and/or you have not previously communicated with Endowments’ staff about your proposed project, you may consider submitting a “Share Your Idea” form as a first step instead. Instructions for the general application form are available here. All applications must be submitted online using the link above but click on the appropriate link below to view a PDF of the application questions.
