Small Grants Process - The Abell Foundation We accept and review grant requests of $10,000 or less on a rolling basis. There is no deadline to apply. First-time small grant applicants must attend an information session to confirm fit with eligibility criteria and funding priorities prior to submitting a small grant application.
Once we have received your proposal, an Abell staff member may contact you with follow-up questions and/or request a site visit. You can expect to be notified of a decision within 60 days of submitting your small grant request. We receive many worthy grant requests and unfortunately cannot fund all of them.
Organizations are welcome to submit multiple proposals if they are each for different projects during the same calendar year, but the Foundation has a policy of only reviewing one proposal per project within a calendar year.
In order to understand the impact of awarded small grants, the Foundation asks grant recipients to submit a post-grant report that includes a narrative description of project outcomes and an accounting of funds expended. Reports may be submitted through our grant portal under the Requirements tab. Returning applicants may click below to start an online grant application.
