Application Process

The process of applying for a grant from the Gemmer Family Foundation.

Click here to apply online after you have submitted a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) which our Screening Committee has approved and invited your organization to submit a full proposal. See our Grant Guidelines for more details.

Unsolicited grant applications are no longer being accepted. The new procedure for grant applications adopted effective July 15, 2025, is described in the section of the Guidelines entitled GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS AND DEADLINES, and LETTER OF INQUIRY. The new procedure requires that the organization seeking a grant first submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) via email which will then be reviewed by members of our Board. If, after reviewing the LOI, our Foundation determines that the organization's project or program merits further consideration for a grant, the organization's contact person will be notified via email and asked to submit a grant application online.
