We award our grants twice a year. The first cycle includes funding under the category – Promoting Quality Leisure, Learning and Culture. Our second cycle awards contributions as part of the Building Safe and Strong Neighborhoods category. With exception of timelines and deadlines, the application process is the same for both of the foundation’s award cycles. Please see the grant timeline for specific deadlines.

• Fall Cycle: Promoting Quality Leisure, Learning and Culture
   
• Spring Cycle: Building Safe and Strong Neighborhoods

As our grant-making strategy continues to evolve, our guidelines may be revised and refined. Please read each section carefully before submitting a grant request.

Organizations may apply for grants for two consecutive years; however, with the exception of City of Arlington departments, if a group is awarded donations in both years, the charity may not apply again for two fiscal years.

Projects may qualify for grants in more than one category in each funding cycle. In those cases, a separate LOI must be submitted in each category. When applying for more than one grant for a specific project, please identify the other grants for which you are applying and please provide ranking or priority preference for each project.
