Strategic Partnerships:

Program staff works closely with Lyndhurst Foundation trustees to develop grant cycle priorities. Organizations that best fit the Foundations priorities will be invited to submit grant proposals. The Trustees will review these proposals at quarterly board meetings.

Other Projects:

Unsolicited requests will be reviewed twice a year, usually in May and November. Such requests should be limited to three pages with attachments that include:

• A description of the sponsoring organization
• A list of the board of directors and staff
• A copy of the organization's annual budget (both income and expenditures)
• An estimated project budget with line items
• A copy of the organization's tax-exempt ruling from the Internal Revenue Service

Applicants are encouraged to call the office for deadlines and questions regarding eligibility. Submissions are accepted by email or regular post; if submitting proposals electronically please send to Karen Rudolph krudolph@lyndhurstfoundation.org. The total pool of funds available for unsolicited requests is $500,000 per year. Requests exceeding $100,000 are rarely funded.
