Submit ONLY After You Receive an Invitational Response to Your Letter of Interest
Submitters of Letters of Interest for each of the 3-4 planned grants will be asked to provide a more robust Grant Proposal. This Grant Proposal should address and expand on the points summarized in the Letter of Interest.
Keep your Grant Proposal succinct. Do not include long “boilerplate” passages which will divert our attention from the program for which you require funding.
Send your requested proposal electronically to GKVproposal@gkvfdn.org. and please remember to insert your organization’s name and EIN in Subject line.
Upon receipt of your proposal GKV will reach out to you to schedule a 15-20 minute interview with the individual responsible for the proposed program. Therefore, please let us know with whom we will be speaking and the best way (telephone, email, text?) to set up that conversation.
See “Submission Process” tab for deadline for submitting this Proposal.
