Grant Funding

The Grant Process

Invitation Only

Grant proposals for the H&H Family Foundation are by invitation only. Instead of an open application process, we focus on strategic partnerships that align with our mission. This allows us to build partnership relations that we hope increase the value of our support.
The H&H Family Foundation is intentional about funding within the mission of our foundation. The H&H Foundation does not accept unsolicited grant applications.

Grant Cycles

The Foundation has 2 grant cycles per year. A shortened cycle may be added to respond to emergency situations such as Covid or local disasters.

Cycle 1

  • Invitations will be extended in early February
  • Applications are due mid-March and funding will begin in early June

Cycle 2

  • Invitations will be extended in late July
  • Applications are due early September and funding will begin in late November

Grant Eligibility

Grants are only made to organizations that are tax-exempt under 501 (c)(3) and must be in good standing with the Internal Revenue Service. Only organizations that fit within the mission of the H&H Family Foundation will be supported. Grant recipients must agree to provide a progress report(s) to the Foundation Director.
