To learn more, review ourCriteria for Success. Our submission windows for grants over $2,500 for the year will be the months of January, April, July and October. Qualified organizations can submit grant requests andLetters of Inquiryduring those timeframes.

Requests will be reviewed and organizations will receive a response before the next grant submission window opens. The Wawa Foundation has designated grant-making cycles during the calendar year. During those cycles, we accept online applications andLetters of Inquiryrelated to our areas of focus and funding priorities.

After submitting an online inquiry, you should hear back from a representative from The Wawa Foundation within 4 weeks.

Once the budget is reached, further inquiries will be declined for the current year and encouraged to re-apply for the following year. ## In-Kind Support: Wawa Community Care Wawa Community Care considers requests for in-kind donations to help community and youth organizations in our neighborhoods.
