Application Process

All proposals must be submitted using The Clowes Fund’s online application process. The Fund approaches the grant proposal process in two phases: preliminary and final.

Preliminary Proposals

If your organization has not received a competitive grant from the Fund within the past five years (2007-2011), you must submit a Preliminary Proposal for consideration. Preliminary Proposals, required for new grant seekers, are accepted upon posting of these guidelines through November 1st.

Final Proposals

If your organization has received funding within the past five years, you may skip the Preliminary Proposal process; however, we encourage you to contact Fund staff for guidance prior to submitting a Final Proposal. We recommend a brief summary of intent sent by e-mail well in advance of the proposal deadline. Final Proposals are due no later than February 1st.
