Koret welcomes grant proposals by invitation and by application.
Our program staff proactively surveys nonprofit organizations engaged in innovative, exemplary work in areas of interest to Koret, and invites those with compelling projects to submit grant applications. In addition to allowing us to partner with organizations that are addressing societal challenges and strengthening Bay Area life, this process helps us to leverage our funds, creating collaborative partnerships and planning for dissemination of replicable models.
Just as we value long-term partnership as a pathway to making the greatest impact, we understand that our eyes and ears cannot see and hear the breadth of creative activity underway in our diverse Bay Area’s nonprofit sector. For that reason, we welcome letters of inquiry within our program interests. We invite interested applicants to review those program areas and complete a letter of inquiry in order to initiate a dialogue with our staff.
