How do I submit my request for funding?

We highlight the focus areas for each of our two programs, Social Justice and Great Apes & Gibbons, at Our Support. Learn more about each program’s application process at Apply for a Grant.

What information is requested during the application process?

Applicants are asked to provide information about their organization, fiscal sponsor (if necessary), and the project concept, including key personnel, outcomes, budgets, and other sources of support. First-time applicants are also required to upload their latest board-approved Equal Employment Opportunity Policy.

Applicants also may be asked to submit a range of other documents, including:

• A project budget, showing revenue and expenses;
• An executed fiscal sponsorship agreement, if fiscal sponsorship is in place;
• An annual operating budget;
• Audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, or IRS Form 990, or profit and loss statement and balance sheet;
• A list of board of directors or trustees.

In addition, applicants based outside of the United States are asked to provide the following:

• articles of incorporation (or equivalent);
• bylaws (or equivalent);
• in-country registrations.
