HOW TO APPLY

The Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation generally makes one-time lump sum grants to 501 (c) 3 schools, programs and organizations in December of each year. Ordinarily, the foundation limits each agency to one grant request within a 12 month period. An agency must file an evaluation report with the foundation office for any previous foundation grant before a new grant request will be considered. Applications may be submitted at any time during the calendar year, but must reach our offices by November 1 for full consideration.

All requests for funding should include:

• The purpose of the grant (justification of need, specific goals, planned activities, expected outcomes, and timeline for completion)
• The name of a contact person
• The qualifications of key staff
• The project budget
• The amount of funds requested.

In addition, applicants should be prepared to provide overall organizational and budget information, if applicable, as well as supporting documents, which include a copy of IRS determination letter confirming the organization's status under section 501 (c) 3.
