Join us for the 2023 FEF Gala

NOW IS THE TIME!

Now is the time to put that dream project into action! Project Grants applications are due by April 1. Now is a perfect time to begin working on your application. The process is straightforward.

• You can begin an application and edit it as many times as needed before you finally submit it.
• You can submit as many grant applications as you have ideas.
• There is no range for the amount requested per grant.

Reminder: If you have a mini-grant and want to expand it into a Project Grant, you will need to submit a New Project Grant Application.

If you run into any problems or have any questions, contact us at FEF Grants
