How to Apply With the onset of the COVID19 pandemic, applications were made more flexible to lower the burden on service providers. During this period, application information was submitted via email and Fund staff transferred to grants management system. The application includes a narrative letter stating briefly and clearly specific purpose of the request, signed by a responsible officer of the organization requesting funds, and to the fullest extent possible, complying with the following requirements: a State the specific amount requested and complete explanation of the necessity therefore. b State whether aid is presently being sought from other foundations and sources or whether such solutions are contemplated and if so, name them. (This is for information purposes only and not to be construed to mean we discourage aid from other sources; rather we prefer to participate with other donors.) c All applications must be executed by persons so authorized on behalf of the tax-exempt organization.
