Organizations that receive a proposal invitation and guidelines have 30 days to submit their proposal. As general practice, we request project budgets, organizational budgets, board lists and audits as part of our application. We frequently require a site visit to better appreciate the organization and need addressed in the proposal. Following this review, grant requests are presented for consideration to the Grants Committee which meets four times each year.

Organizations that receive a grant must sign an agreement that outlines the terms of the grant, including reporting requirements and payment schedule. Payments are made within one month of signed agreements. Final reports are generally due one year after the final payment date. Per HELP Foundation policy, new funding requests may only be submitted after completing a two-year waiting period from the final payment date of a previous grant.
