Every year, the Next Gen Giving Circle spends time learning about members to target a grant priority that best reflects our group interests.
Once we determine a priority, our grants committee designs and releases an application each summer. Our request for proposal (RFP) process follows the same general format:
​
-
Application open (~6 weeks)
-
Initial review period (~3 weeks)
-
Finalist review period (~3 weeks)
-
Grantee Selection
Grant amounts are decided by members during the review process and typically range from $2,500 - $15,000.
