The Foundation usually mails checks within one to two weeks of a grant’s approval. The check will be mailed with a letter outlining the terms of the grant, i.e., that the funds will be used for the purpose stated, and that follow up reports about the project funded will be sent to the Foundation board before future grants will be considered. If a proposal letter is rejected, can I rewrite it and submit it again?
The Foundation staff will classify proposal letters into two categories: Those that will move on to the application process and those that are unlikely of receiving a positive review. Proposal letters that fall into the second category receive a denial letter. The Foundation does not accept rewritten proposals, as it does not wish to encourage grant seekers to revise projects just to get a grant.
