We review grant applications once we hit the deadline. It will take at least two weeks after the deadline to let you know if your grant was accepted. If your grant was not accepted, we will give you suggestions to help improve your idea for the next application period.

​

SELECTION CRITERIA

Projects are rated on a scale of 1-5 for the following criteria: 

  • Innovative 

  • Time Specific

  • High Impact

  • Well Planned

  • Sustainable 

SUBMIT FORMS

Once your application has been accepted, you will need to fill out and submit tax forms by the deadline in the email. A W-9  is required for citizens of the United States and a W-8BEN is required for non-citizens. Your signature has to be a legitimate signature, not a digital signature. Please send all forms to beaphilanthropist@grantwell.org.

If you did not submit the forms by the deadline and/or you did not include a legitimate signature, we cannot give you the grant money.
