Beginning on July 1, 2009, through September 10, 2009, at
www.nammfoundation.org, organizations may submit a “Letter of
Inquiry” per the guidelines below that summarizes a request for project
support. Letters of Inquiry will be reviewed by Foundation staff;
selected organizations will be invited to submit comprehensive
proposals for funding consideration. Organizations that are selected
to submit complete applications will have the opportunity to do so
starting on October 1, 2009, ending on December 1, 2009. After staff
and Board committee review, grant awards will be announced on or
about May 15, 2010.
This two-phase grant application process seeks to ease the burden of
preparing lengthy grant applications when applying for a NAMM
Foundation Program Grant. In the past several years, the Foundation
has received hundreds of grant applications and requests for funds.
Due to budget limitations, the Foundation can support a limited
number of projects annually. This application process seeks to
streamline the process of grant application and review. If your
organization is selected to submit a complete application after review
of your Letter of Inquiry, this action does not signal or guarantee
funding by the Foundation but a request for additional and complete
information that can be used to consider support by staff and Board
Committee.
Carefully review the Program Grant Guidelines and complete the
eligibility quiz to determine eligibility and application deadlines. This
year we are only accepting applications via an online process, with no
exceptions. Submit your application at
