How to apply to Cloudbreak Foundation Inc
- Accepts unsolicited proposals
- Yes
- Invitation Only
-
The foundation accepts unsolicited requests through a letter of inquiry, with one LOI per organization per grant cycle. The LOI should describe the organization and its mission, the project and requested amount, the project budget, expected outcomes and people served, and the plan and timetable. The foundation reviews LOIs and may invite an organization to submit a full proposal; an invitation does not guarantee funding. The board considers applications at June and December meetings. New organizations and applicants without an invitation should apply only during the winter cycle. The website says funding is limited to active 501(c)(3) organizations, excludes private foundations, for-profit companies, individuals, discriminatory organizations, and lobbying or political activity, and requires recipients to document use of funds and report results. The foundation’s 2024 filing also states that awards are restricted to organizations in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.
- Review Cycle
- The website lists April 10 for summer-cycle LOIs and September 25 for winter-cycle LOIs. Both 2026 deadlines have passed. The website says new organizations and applicants without an invitation should apply during the winter cycle.
