How to apply to The Olive Tree Foundation Inc
- Invitation Only
-
The foundation’s website says its application process is invitation-only; applicants who have not been invited will not be considered. The website allows organizations to introduce themselves, but says this does not constitute an application. The 2025 filing says applicants should submit documentation explaining their current program or project ideas and goals, and evidence of public charity status under Section 501(c)(3). It says awards are normally for program support, special projects, and small capital needs. The filing says the foundation generally does not support private foundations under Section 509(a), basic biomedical research, foreign organizations, fraternal organizations, or political organizations. The website says applications should clearly explain program metrics, use of funds, the number and demographics of people served, and other committed grant funding. It also says prior grantees should follow up to confirm receipt and explain how they used the funds.
