Grant Evaluation Process
The Valentine Foundation Trustees will review all of the letters of intent after the August 31 2022 submissions. They will rank the proposals in our grantmaking system and the top proposals will be discussed at meeting in Septmeber/October.
The organizations that are selected at this stage of the process will be contacted by a Trustee, given feedback about the request and invited to submit a full proposal. The Trustees meet again in November to review the detailed proposals and make the final grant allocations. The grants are mailed by the end of November.
