HOW TO APPLY FOR A GRANT over $5000
 All organizations requesting funds from the Levin Family
Foundation must follow the following steps:
- Contact the foundation office and talk with the
Executive Director, Karen Levin.
- Send a Letter of Intent (LOI) to the Executive
Director. This letter should be approximately
one page. It should contain information regarding
the project that the organization would like to develop
and the estimated amount of money that the organization
will be requesting.
- Upon receipt of the Letter of Intent, the Levin
Family Foundation sends a letter. There are three
possible outcomes. The requesting organization may
be told to proceed with the proposal; they may be
told that there idea has merit, but changes might
be suggested; or, the foundation would not be interested
in the project. If the requesting organization is
told to modify the project, they will submit a second
Letter of Intent.
- Once a project has passed the Letter of Intent
stage, the organization then is encouraged to develop
a proposal.
- All proposals should be submitted on or before
the designated date. The proposal package being submitted
must include:
- One hard copy of the proposal
- One disk or CD containing a copy of the proposal
- 6 copies of the first page of the application
- 6 copies of the Executive Summary
DO NOT STAPLE OR PUT INTO BINDER/FOLDERS-ANY
APPLICANTS THAT DO NOT FOLLOW THIS WILL HAVE THEIR
APPLICATION RETURNED TO THEM
- Upon receipt of the application package, a letter
is sent stating the foundation office received the
information and the project will be placed on the
agenda for action by the Trustees at the next disbursement
meeting.
- A letter is mailed out to the submitting organization
regarding the status of the program funding within
one week of the disbursement meeting.
- All funded programs are required to submit an
end of year/end of project report within one calendar
year of their funding. Failure to submit this document
will result in the delinquent organization being
barred from submitting future grants or receiving
additional funds in the case of multi-year grants.
- The amount of detail required in the end of year/end
of project report will vary depending upon the amount
of funding awarded to a program. The foundation is
in the process of preparing suggested guidelines
for this document. We will be sending out information
when it becomes available.
