Gilroy Foundation Grant Process

Prospective funding recipients who apply to the Gilroy Foundation are thoroughly researched and evaluated. Since 1982, over $2 million has been awarded in grants and scholarships. Foundation grants have made a positive and powerful difference in every sphere of life in the community. For example:

Increasing the self-sufficiency of children and families
Building the capacity of students to excel in school
Promoting the physical, mental and social health of all individuals
Enriching the cultural life of the community
Improving the environment
Helping to revitalize blighted and fragmented neighborhoods

How to Apply for a Grant

Each December, nonprofits on the Foundation's database are contacted by email or letter with an invitation to apply for a grant. Those organizations, or any other nonprofits with a 501c(3) status, must download a current application form from the website. Or, organizations may call the Foundation offices to request a current application by mail.

Seven sets of the grant application shall be submitted to the Foundation by posted mail, postmarked no later than January 31, 2012.

For any questions please email Gina Anderson at: gina@gilroyfoundation.org

Organizations are notified of their status by the end of March and grants are awarded at our Annual Meeting and Grants Presentation in April of each year.

Nonprofit, 501c(3), organizations who are not currently on the Foundation's database, or those wishing to update their mailing information, may do so via email from this website: www.gilroyfoundation.org/contact.htm
