How to Apply

1. The first step in seeking a grant from Horizon Foundation is to submit a Letter of Inquiry. Please follow the format given on the link below. We have two grant cycles per year, with Letters of Inquiry due in mid-January and mid-July. Please see the Calendar / Deadlines page below for details.

2. We will respond to the inquiries with either rejections or invitations to submit full proposals within 3 to 4 weeks after the Letter of Inquiry deadline.

3. Full proposals from invited organizations will be due in early April or October.

4. Site visits will generally be conducted following submission of proposals.

5. Grant decisions will be made by Horizon trustees in May and November, and letters will be mailed by June 1 or December 1 informing applicants of final decisions.

6. Contracts for approved grant proposals must be signed by the appropriate organization representative and promptly returned to Horizon.

7. Grant funds are mailed once signed grant contracts have been received and approved by Horizon.

8. Final reports are generally due from grantees one year after receiving funding.
