Before you begin an application, the first step is to familiarize yourself with what we fund, our grants process and FAQ.  You may also find our online application system tips and tutorial video helpful.

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

Important Notes:

• All inquiries must sign into our new grantmaking system and “Create an Account.”
• If you have started an application for the 2025 grant cycle, have passed the eligibility quiz, and have an in-progress application. You can access that application using the Account Log-In in the upper right corner of our website’s home page.
• 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.
