Apply For Funding
Trinity Foundation of Hope for Natural Disaster Victims no longer accepts unsolicited grant proposals. All applicants must complete an electronic application from the Web site as the first step.

Organizations that submit unsolicited proposals will receive notification directing them to submit an electronic application via the Web site. After reading the remaining application guidelines, you may click the button "Apply For Funding" at the bottom of the page to begin.

electronic applications on an ongoing basis and typically responds
within 7-10 days, although we ask that you allow up to two weeks for a
response. The Foundation will send an e-mail message either declining
your request or inviting you to submit a formal application packet for
further consideration. If you are invited to submit an application

staff. In some cases, a phone conference or site visit may be
scheduled as part of the review process. The Grants Committee
typically meets four times each year to consider requests that have
been recommended by staff for review. You will be notified if your
proposal will be considered at one of the Grants Committee meetings or
will take longer than four months to review.
