Grant Application Process

Create an account and submit an LOI (pre-application) online using the CentraCare Foundation’s grant management system.

  1. Approved LOIs will be notified of their invitation to submit a full proposal according to the grantmaking schedule provided on the Foundation’s website.
  2. The Grants Advisory Committee will recommend full proposals for funding to the Board of Directors.
  3. The Board of Directors will make final funding decisions per the grantmaking schedule provided on the Foundation’s website.
  4. Upon Board approval of an application, a grant agreement will be emailed to the recipient organization for review and signature(s).
  5. Progress reports are required on a semi-annual basis, with a final report due at the conclusion of the project. The Grants Committee reserves the right to withhold 10% on grants of $10,000 or more until all interim and final reports are submitted and approved by the Grants Committee.
  6. In the event a grant agreement is not signed and the applicant makes no request for the deferral of the project in the succeeding 12 months in which no funds were awarded, the applicant must resubmit a new proposal for consideration.
