Volunteer Gift

Applicants should demonstrate clear alignment to the foundation’s journalism, literacy, internship or community-impact priorities and size requests to match the mix of many small awards and a smaller number of larger program grants. Use the public program pages and listed staff contacts or the published rolling submission route to make first contact; highlight program fit, past impact, and how the request maps to specific named funds (e.g., internship support, Howard Center, disarming disinformation). Being explicit about budget scale and offering measurable deliverables increases the chance for review given the foundation’s high volume of smaller awards.
