Understanding Your Eligibility
If your organization is looking for funding opportunities, the first step is to discover if you are eligible to receive a grant from the Allen Foundation Grants. To facilitate this process, we encourage you to take our preliminary quiz, which can help outline the requirements and determine your eligibility. Additionally, reviewing our giving guidelines is essential to understanding the types of projects we support.
Starting Your Application
The online application submission is straightforward. To begin, please create an account on our platform. If you’ve previously started an application, you can access it by clicking here to review, edit, finalize, or even delete it as necessary. It is important to note that once your application is submitted, it cannot be altered. For your convenience, we have provided a sample application so you can familiarize yourself with the required elements before submitting.
Reporting and Deadlines
Award recipients must submit progress reports electronically by April 15th of the year following the grant award. Be sure to log in to submit your required report on time. Furthermore, please keep in mind the submission deadlines for proposals are January 15 and July 15, respectively, for our board meetings. Proposals submitted after these dates will roll over to the next session for consideration. We advise against asking the webmaster for an extension, as the board’s decisions will be announced publicly in June and December.
Remember, while we wish we could support every application, our resources are limited, and funding decisions can be quite competitive. For more information about our processes, please visit our official website: Allen Foundation.
