Gilroy Foundation Grant Process
The Foundation’s grant process is open and fair and continually reviewed. Prospective funding
recipients who apply to the Gilroy Foundation are thoroughly researched and evaluated. Since
1982, over $900,000 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:
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..
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.
“If it wasn’t for the Foundation helping us and giving us the funding, it would have been
a lot more difficult getting this program off the ground. And, applying for the grant was
not a difficult process. The Foundation asks for your success rates. They have a very
efficient process of giving out the money. They have to look for an impact. They’re
knowledgeable about what the community’s needs are.”
