If you have questions, please contact office@nwcf. org . Frequently asked questions NW Children’s Foundation has a two-step application process: Step One: Interested agencies submit a Letter of Inquiry.
An agency may submit one application per fiscal year, which means the applicant must choose between submitting an LOI in the Winter or Spring Cycle. See “What is our grant timeline” for LOI due dates and more information on our two grant cycles. Step Two: A screening committee reviews the Letters of Inquiry and informs agencies whether they have been selected to participate in the full application and review process.
Selected agencies then submit a full Grant Application. NW Children’s Foundation Board members thoroughly review the written materials and arrange for a site visit before making final granting decisions. What types of programs do we fund?
We welcome applications for both general operating and program support. Our funding priorities focus on children, youth and families who are in the foster care system, and/or experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, abuse, neglect, and other trauma. Our priorities also include funding prevention services that reduce risk factors and promote protective factors to ensure well-being and stability for all children and families.
We are interested in hearing how the intensity, duration and frequency of your program/intervention will prevent and treat the negative impacts of trauma. Due to funding limitations, we prioritize programs that are responsive to populations already experiencing trauma or who have demonstrated risks which lead to a higher likelihood of potentially experiencing traumatic experiences like homelessness, abuse, and neglect.
