Grant Cycle Process
Timeline
We recommend holding only one grant cycle each year, with advertising starting in the fall, presentations taking place throughout fall and winter, grants due at the end of February, grants reviewed in early March, and grants awarded in late March. You should keep an eye open for new board members throughout the year, but board applications should generally be due a week or two after the end of the school year. This due date helps ensure that you can invite youth project leaders to apply for the board after seeing how well they planned and carried out their project, and it recognizes that the end of the school year can be too busy to expect students to have time to complete an application. Board applications should be reviewed based on the process outlined in Selection Process, and applicants should be informed of their decision no more than three weeks after the date that their applications were due.
A “Master Timeline” for the program can be found in the “Board of Directors” folder of the program package. Keep this timeline handy to make sure you stay up-to-date on important actions.
