The proposal deadline and meeting schedule for 2026 is: Photo courtesy of Franciscan Center of Baltimore. We accept and review grant requests greater than $10,000 on the schedule outlined above.
Once we have received your proposal, an Abell staff member may contact you with follow-up questions and/or request a site visit. We notify applicants of all decisions made by the Board of Trustees within one week of each Board meeting. Please note that we receive many worthy grant requests and unfortunately cannot support 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 reviewing only one proposal per project within a calendar year.
In order to monitor progress and understand the impact of awarded grants, the Foundation typically asks grant recipients to submit interim and post-grant reports that include narrative descriptions of project progress and an accounting of funds expended to date. Reports may be submitted through our grant portal and can be found under the “Requirements” tab.
If you are a first-time applicant, please submit a short letter of inquiry describing your project and the proposed budget. If we are interested in reviewing the project in greater detail, we will ask you to submit a full application for our next submission deadline.
