Apply for Grants & Funding

FUNDING SUBMISSION TERMS

All applications for funding will be reviewed by the staff of the Employee Ownership Foundation and you will receive an email acknowledging receipt of the application. Incomplete or off topic applications will be discarded. Priority will be given to requests that demonstrate the greatest possible value to the employee ownership community and fit within the priorities of the Foundation as determined by the Board of Trustees and Officers.

The Foundation receives more applications than it has resources to fund. Each year the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees establishes a budget and programmatic priorities. Applications that exceed those budgets, fall outside of the programmatic priorities, or fail to demonstrate value to the employee ownership community will not be funded.

Submitted applications become the property of the Foundation and any materials, documents, or other collateral such as video presentation, photography, or similar will not be returned by the Foundation.
