Welcome to The Trull Foundation’s online grant application! There are no deadlines for proposal submissions, as they are received and reviewed throughout the year.

Prior to applying for new funding, the foundation requires that you submit an evaluation report on any previous funding from the prior grants cycle. Please visit the website periodically during the year for the latest updates regarding application deadlines and more.

The Foundation accepts grant applications throughout the year. However, it is a good idea to submit an application at least four months before the funding is needed. The exact timetable for an application’s progress is dependent on several factors and will be determined upon receipt of all application materials.  Please note that if your organization was awarded a grant, you will not be eligible to submit a new grant application until the final report is received for your current grant.

You are eligible to submit a request once per calendar year.
