Capital Improvement Grants are considered once a year (first business day in August); applicants will receive a decision after a three-month review period.
To apply, visit the Foundation’s Grant Application Portal and register for an account. (Please register at least two weeks before the deadline so our staff has time to approve your registration.) For more information about creating an account, read our registration instructions. If you need technical assistance, please contact us at grants@wsfoundation.org and we will follow-up within 1-2 business days.
If you have specific questions and/or a proposal idea you would like to discuss, we would be happy to schedule a conversation. Please review the information on our website beforehand. Organizations are not required to meet with our staff before applying. We understand nonprofits may find it helpful to discuss their idea with our team. While we aim to be accessible, please keep in mind call and email volume can be high as submission deadlines approach. To schedule a conversation, contact us at least one week before the application deadline. Note: we cannot guarantee a meeting close to a deadline.
