Form and materials
Requests can be submitted at any time and are reviewed each calendar quarter. A typical "case for support" together with an IRS tax exemption letter covers what is required. If such presentation is not available, the applicant should convey the need for the project, the methods to be employed to reach the stated goal, budget projections, staffing, prospects for success and any other information deemed important. No specific forms are required.
Deadlines
None
Restrictions
Most foundation grants are for special projects, seed money, and crisis support, particularly those involving the spread of the gospel and preservation of christian family values. The foundation does not support debt reduction, endowments, or ongoing operating expenses. If the work of a charitable organization is local in scope, grants are generally limited to those with which members of the board of directors already have a relationship.
