The Foundation’s Board meets twice a year, typically in late February and late August. Requests are reviewed by the board and need to be submitted at least a month prior to any meeting. (We recommend submitting applications by January 15 for the February meeting and July 15 for the August meeting.) Any in-person presentations will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
