Apply for Responsive Grant
Any organization meeting the basic requirements may apply for a grant from WHF. Before applying, applicants should review WHF’s strategic plan for alignment of their proposed plan and the specifics of our grantmaking program.
Grant Application
The process of applying for a Responsive Grant requires the submission of WHF’s online grant application. For more information about the Foundation’s grant deadlines, please see the current Grants Calendar.
The application should identify the need, target population, strategy for addressing the need, and alignment of the proposed program with WHF’s strategic plan and funding areas. Additionally, the applicant should document any other sources of funding, illustrate any collaboration with other agencies, and attach the WHF Program Budget Packet.
A couple of restrictions to note:
- No agency may submit more than two Responsive Grant applications per grant cycle.
- No agency may have more than two Responsive Grants in any calendar year.
Need help? While Foundation staff will not review applications prior to submission, WHF’s Program Officer is available to answer general questions about the Foundation’s grantmaking program and application process.
Grant Application Review
After the application deadline has passed, WHF staff will review all submitted applications. After this review, the Foundation will contact applicants via email within 30 days to inform them of their status.
Please note, submission of a grant application does not guarantee funding.
