What is the process once the application is submitted?

Following submission, every request goes through an evaluation process.  The process includes proposal review, financial analysis, and team discussions.  For organizations being considered for Board approval, a site visit may be conducted.  The Board meets to approve grants in February, May, August, and October.


How will I be notified of a decision?

Applicants should receive an email confirmation of receipt of the proposal.  All further status changes will be communicated by email and via status updates on the Online Application “Dashboard,” visible by logging in to an applicant’s account.


What are the deadlines for proposals?

There are no deadlines.  Proposals are accepted year-round through the Herzstein Foundation’s Online Application.
