Reality Grantmaking—Get a $1,000 Grant
Come to our program, get a $1,000 grant! Okay it's not quite that easy but it's not too difficult either. Here are the details. As part of Funding for the Environment month in June we're presenting (with DER and AFP-Golden Gate chapter) a Reality Grantmaking session where you can actually see funders in action deciding who gets a grant. If you want a chance at winning $1,000 and you're with a nonprofit or fiscally-sponsored project with an environmental program, go to the DER web site for the application guidelines. It's not a big application--in two pages describe your mission, who you serve, how you'll use the grant, and provide a simple project budget. No attachments are necessary or wanted. Submit your application by 5:00 pm, Monday, June 9 to:

If your proposal is selected as a finalist it will be reviewed and scored by our expert panel at the program on June 19. The proposal with the highest score will receive a $1,000 check at the end of the event. Although only environmental projects can submit requests, grantseekers from all program areas are invited to attend and watch grantmakers review and comment on proposals. See you there.
To view our exciting Reality Grantmaking event from last year featuring proposals from Health and Human Services organizations, view the video in our events archive. Whether or not you compete for the funds, these sessions provide great insight into the grantmaking process and the details grantmakers notice when reviewing your requests.
