FundingNo formal maximum request amount published. Current average ranges over the last five years: general operating $2,500-$10,000; programs $2,500-$10,000; capital $15,000-$25,000. Applicants may request more; awards are discretionary.

DeadlineRolling, no fixed deadline. Upcoming Trustee review dates: September 18, 2026 and December 4, 2026.
