Before you begin an application, the first step is to familiarize yourself with our guidelines for what we fund and our grants process. You may also wish to review the online application system instructions and funding FAQ.

To help you prepare, you can review the full list of proposal questions at any time. We no longer require a specific budget template but we do ask that the budget you submit show both estimated sources of revenue as well as estimated expenses.

The application links below will be available beginning December 20, 2024. The next deadline for grant submissions will be January 2025.  Check back later for an exact date.

Important Notes:

• All new initial inquiries must use the “Start Application” button.
• If you have signed into an application for the 2025 grant deadline and have passed the eligibility quiz, you have an in-progress application. You can access that application using the Account Log-In.
• If you have any trouble with the online application system, call Diane Grossman at (612) 871-9210 or send an email to dgrossman[@]sheltering-arms.org.
