Application Review Cycle

The Foundation reviews requests three times a year in February, May and November. The deadline for grant applications is the 15th day of the month preceding the review month (e.g., the 15th of January for review in February). Applications received later than this deadline will not be considered for support until the following quarterly review meeting. Applicants will be sent a confirmation of receipt of their grant application a few days after it is received. Notification of grant decisions will be sent by mail no later than the end of the month in which the Foundation's decision-making groups meet and review grant applications.

Please follow the guidelines in the grant application carefully. Applications that do not comply with the guidelines or that do not specifically address our area of focus will not be considered for funding.

Before or after grant approval, BankonCommunity may request additional information from an organization on its financial status, organization, or operations.
