How to apply to The New-Land Foundation Inc
- How to Apply
-
The foundation does not restrict giving to preselected organizations. Applications must include a completed application form, a narrative proposal of five pages or less, a list of board and executive staff members, organizational and project budgets with sources and amounts of support, the federal tax-exemption ruling, and an annual report and/or the organization’s latest audited financial statement. Proposals undergo an initial screening, and applications that do not meet the requirements will not be considered at a board meeting. Materials must be emailed to the address on the application form; the foundation says applicants will receive confirmation of receipt. The filing also notes that the foundation receives more applications than it can approve and has a very limited budget for new applicants because it often makes repeat grants.
