Prospective applicants should prioritize strong alignment with the foundation's arts, humanities, and public-knowledge priorities and present projects at a scale and rigor appropriate for multi-year or field-building funding. Use the public website and grants portal for submission and questions, reference relevant program areas or named program officers, and be prepared to document organizational capacity, budgets, and partnership plans; relationship-building with program staff can help but unsolicited applications are clearly accepted and considered.
