Woods Charitable Fund only accepts applications from non-profit organizations that have communicated with us and have been asked to complete an application form.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND A FULL PROPOSAL BEFORE CONTACTING THE FUND.

Contact the Fund by telephone or by sending a 2-page letter of intent, including budget information, by mail or e-mail. Our staff can then help you decide whether it is worth your time and expense to proceed with a full proposal.

Many excellent proposals cannot be funded because there are absolute limits to the number of proposals the Fund can study thoroughly and support.

If your organization receives a grant, you will be asked to sign a grant agreement form requiring online reports on use of the grant in relation to the original proposal objectives and program results. A selected number of grantees may be asked to participate in a post-grant evaluation to study program accomplishments in more depth.

Please read the list of considerations the Board of Directors makes when reviewing a grant proposal.
