Seek a Grant
We welcome funding inquiries year-round, but we do not accept unsolicited letters of inquiry or proposals. Cowell has a structured process for inviting proposals and reviewing prospects. Please review the initial inquiry process below. If you have questions, please call us.
- Carefully review Cowell’s Place-based and Program Criteria.
- Contact the Foundation.
- For Education and Youth organizations, please contact Lydia Burstyn at burstyn@shcowell.org.
- For Families organizations and all other inquiries, please contact Brittany Redelfs, redelfs@shcowell.org.
During this brief call, be prepared to describe your organization and its work, in addition to your community. You and a program assistant will determine whether your work aligns with the Foundation’s priorities, at which point you’ll be advised about next steps.
