Heads up that the April invited application step has been eliminated, leaving only the anticipated July 2026 deadline for full applications. While a pre-application meeting with program staff is no longer strictly required, it remains strongly recommended to ensure your project aligns with foundation goals. Additionally, the updated guidelines now explicitly allow you to request a one-time, 12-month no-cost extension.
