The Application Process

Initial Approach

The Lynch Foundation has an open process which allows any not-for-profit organization fitting our mission statement to submit a three-page concept paper. The concept paper should contain an overview of the organization, relevant program information, and why and how a grant from the Foundation could be of assistance. These papers will be reviewed by the Foundation’s staff, and the organizations will be notified once a decision is made to invite a grant application or decline the concept.

Inquiry Deadlines

Concept papers may be submitted at any time.

Invited Proposals

The Lynch Foundation grant application is comprised of a three-page summary form. The proposal should be written concisely; the narrative section should not exceed the recommended format. All supporting materials must be included to be considered for funding. Information should be up-to-date and not redundant.

Faxed or E-mailed proposals will not be accepted.

Proposal Deadlines

The Foundation has a rolling application process. Proposals will be accepted throughout the year, however, The Lynch Foundation votes on funding decisions three times a year in January, May and September.
