The Meyer Foundation uses a two-step application process:

Step One

Eligible candidates interested in requesting a grant from the Meyer Foundation are required to first submit a letter of inquiry (LOI). Even if your organization has received funding from Meyer in the past, we request that you review our guidelines and complete a new letter of inquiry for each new request.

Step Two

Applicants will be notified about the Foundation's interest within two months of the submission deadline. If a request is selected for further consideration, a program officer will schedule a meeting with the applicant to discuss the request. At that time, a full proposal may be invited and the program officer and applicant will agree upon its submission date. Organizations may use the Common Grant Application as the proposal.

A request for submission of a full proposal in no way guarantees eventual funding of the request.

Uninvited proposals will not be accepted.
