Grant Process

Welcome! We are pleased with your interest in applying for an Impact Giving Grant.

Our grant-making process requires that an organization be sponsored by one of our Partners. A Partner is any woman who has contributed her full annual donation to Impact Giving.  All Partners who are sponsoring a Grant Application must register for our new training, even if they have attended a past training.

If you are interested in applying for an Impact Giving Grant please view our Grant Standard and Funding Principals page to confirm you are eligible for our grant application process. You may also check out our Grant Categories. Reviewing these pages will help you determine if your nonprofit organization qualifies as a potential Impact Giving Grant recipient.

Please take a look at our grant process below and contact me with any questions you may have regarding our grant giving philosophy at sam@impactgivingnow.org. We wish you great success and look forward to learning more about your organization and your specific funding request.

Sam Dawson,
Grant Chair

GRANT PROCESS

Organizations must submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI). After you have submitted your Letter of Inquiry, and we received and reviewed your LOI request, the Grant Reviewing Committee will notify you if your organization qualifies to submit a Grant Application. If you are invited to participate, you will receive a email with the Grant Application. Your application will be reviewed by the appropriate Grant Category Committee. The Committees select those organizations that will proceed to the final selection. Those finalists are posted for all Impact Giving Partners to review and to make the final grant selections. Please take a look at our Grant Seeker Deadline page to review the dates of submission.

To download the Letter of Inquiry (LOI), please click here and then check your downloads folder. The LOI’s are due on October 12th, 2011 (not on the 7th as stated on the download instructions)

Our Grants are awarded only to projects or programs which make a high impact by transforming lives – with obvious, significant change during the granting period.
