How do I apply?

There are three steps to submit a donation request:

1. Ensure that your organization or project aligns with our giving guidelines. Also, review our list of ineligible organizations and projects. If you see that your request falls outside of our giving guidelines, it is unlikely that your request will be approved.
2. Read our application instructions so that you can assemble and prepare the information you will require to apply through our easy-to-use online application form.
3. Open our online application form, complete and submit it.

Once you apply

When you submit your completed online application, you will receive an e-mail confirming receipt of your request. After we conduct a preliminary review of your application, we will update you on the status of your request by e-mail within 15 business days of your submission.

Due to the large volume of requests we receive, e-mail is the best method of keeping you up-to-date regarding the status of your request.
