APPLICATION GUIDELINES
The RK Foundation provides grants to nonprofits and public organizations that support community development, education, health and human services in our key areas. Below is guidance on how to apply for a grant. All grant requests received must be consistent with our mission statement and areas of focus. We anticipate the number of proposals received each quarter will exceed our funding resources; we thank grant seekers in advance for their efforts in submitting proposals.
Guidelines for Grant Applicants
Grant requests must be submitted electronically through our website. All requests are reviewed quarterly and organizations will be notified of their status in writing or electronically shortly thereafter.
- All grants must go directly to a 501(c)(3) charity that is located in the Rocky Mountain Region in good standing.
