A small foundation, funding a small number of projects well.
You tell us about the work. We consider grants by proposal. There is no application window and no form to fight with, write to us and describe what you do.
We check two things. That the recipient is a 501(c)(3) public charity, or the equivalent outside the United States. And that the grant can reasonably be expected to further our nonviolence and education purposes.
Pre-grant inquiry, for organizations outside the US. We ask for evidence of legal status, a description of your history, goals and activities, recent financial statements, and a list of your governing board and officers.
A written agreement, and reporting. For foreign-equivalent grantees we enter a written agreement: funds are used only for the agreed purposes, with reporting scaled to the size of the grant and a final report describing what the work achieved.
