The RFP provides details regarding a general area of interest, timelines for review and approval and uses an independent review process to make final grant decisions. Organizations will be invited to apply addressing the specific RFP.

    Publically posted RFPs will include release date as well as grant application due dates.

    Grant proposals received in response to RFPs during the acceptable time frame will be reviewed by the committee according to the review process described above.
