The Moody Foundation welcomes inquiries throughout the year. Eligible organizations may submit an inquiry via the Moody Foundation Grant Inquiry Form . After a brief eligibility quiz, applicants will outline their organization and proposed project on the form with a brief description, estimated total budget, and amount requested of the Moody Foundation.

Only one inquiry per organization will be considered at any given time. If your organization would like to submit more than one project for review, please note your organization’s priority project or program. If an inquiry and project is to receive further consideration, you will be sent a full grant application by a member of our grants team.

Once an application is finalized and submitted, we conduct a detailed compliance review. Eligible applications are presented to the Foundation’s trustees for consideration at one of four regular meetings held each year. The exact timetable for an application’s progress is dependent on several factors and the process does not begin until receipt of all application materials.

It is common for the grant application process from inquiry to funding decision to take up to six months, so please consider this timeframe in determining what projects you propose. Organizations are only allowed one active grant at a time unless an exception has been discussed with Moody Foundation staff.

New grant inquiries and requests (by existing grantees) will not be accepted until a final report from an organization’s previous project has been submitted, unless otherwise discussed with Foundation staff. All inquiries are submitted via our online Grants Portal.

If you are submitting an inquiry to the Moody Foundation for the first time (or are an existing grantee submitting a new proposal after 4/1/25), you will be required to set up an account within the grantee portal. Questions? Please visit our FAQ page here.

If your grant application is approved, you will be asked to sign the Foundation’s standard grant agreement, which will include information about managing your grant, such as if and when any reports are due. M-PACT Application Process Application & Eligibility
