Arthur L. & Elaine V. Johnson Foundation

The Foundation grants on an annual cycle.  Please take careful note of the following process so that your request may have a full and fair consideration.

Letter of Inquiry: Due 1 May

We strongly encourage prospective grantees to begin the process by sending the foundation a letter of inquiry.  The purpose of the letter of inquiry is twofold.  It may allow us to identify proposals that would not be eligible for funding without the organization having to complete a long grant application.  It also affords us the time to complete our due diligence, which may include a site visit.

A letter of inquiry should include:

• A brief description of the organization
• A brief description of the anticipated request, including the amount expected to be requested
• Contact information for the person we should contact in the event we want additional information or to arrange a site visit

Organizations that did not submit a letter of inquiry may still submit a grant application, however the limited time available for due diligence may significantly reduce the likelihood of the grant being funded.

Grant Application: Due 1 August

If possible, please use this standard grant application form. If you chose not to use our form all information requested must still be provided. Be sure to include all requested supporting information
