Application Process
Please review Our Approach, our guidelines (including the objectives and results sought in each program area), and the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section of our website before applying to the Foundation.
Letter of Inquiry
If you are not a current Altman grantee, we ask that you complete and submit a Letter of Inquiry, using the form provided. There are no deadlines for letters of inquiry. We will review these in the order received and will contact you if we need further information.
Full Proposal
If you are a current grantee applying for renewal funding, or if we have suggested that you follow your Letter of Inquiry with a full proposal, please click on Full Application and select the proposal format relevant to your request. These applications track the Foundation’s three types of investments:
- Investments in Direct Service;
- Investments in Organizations (Capacity Building)*; and
- Investments in Systems Change.
* Please note that if you are providing technical assistance services to other organizations, they are your clients and you should complete the “direct service” application. The “capacity building” application is designed for organizations seeking to build their own internal capacity.
Additional Documents Required: All full proposals should include the items listed on the Application Checklist. We cannot review your request until all required attachments have been received.
