Overview

The River Branch Foundation Grant supports organizations focused on environmental issues, particularly permanent land protection in northeast Florida. Applicants must submit a detailed letter describing their project, as the foundation does not use a standard application form. Grants are awarded at the foundation's discretion to 501(c)(3) non-profits throughout the year, with funds disbursed in June and December. Interviews and proposal analysis occur in May and November.

NOTE: The foundation does not use an application form. Applicants are asked to submit a letter of not more than three pages describing the project for which the grant is being sought.  Analysis of proposals received as well as applicant interviews needed will take place in May and November. Grant Funds are dispersed in June and December of each year. Applications are accepted and reviewed throughout the year, and if necessary held for the next funding cycle. Please note: only written applications or inquiry letters are accepted. We do not accept telephone inquiries or location visits without prior arrangement.
The River Branch Foundation is a regional foundation with special ties to our home area of the Jacksonville beaches and northeast Florida.

Eligibility

We award grants solely at the foundation's discretion to organizations of accomplishment and promise in our fields of interest and only to organizations designated by the IRS as 501(c)(3) non-profit entities.
