WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF BEING
FUNDED?
The Kress Foundation annually receives about 1,500
requests for support. Of this number, only about 350 typically
receive support, making the grant application process highly
competitive. In addition, the Kress Foundation's approach is
focused and strategic; each program and grant identifies and
pursues a specific set of goals and objectives. You should read
the guidelines provided elsewhere in this site carefully to
see whether your project clearly fits within the range of activities
that the Foundation supports.
WHAT IS THE SIZE OF GRANTS
AWARDED ANNUALLY?
The majority of the grants awarded by the Kress
Foundation are $25,000 or less. The Foundation asks each applicant
to provide a budget that accurately reflects the needs of the
project. The Foundation does not guarantee full funding for
any project. The Kress Fellowship program provides set award
levels.
HOW OFTEN DOES THE FOUNDATION
MEET TO REVIEW PROPOSALS?
The Board of Trustees of the Kress Foundation
meets three times per year. Generally, meetings are held in
October, January, and May. However, the Kress Foundation reviews
applications throughout the year.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE
A RESPONSE ONCE I'VE SUBMITTED A LETTER OF INQUIRY?
The Foundation makes every effort to respond within
8-10 weeks of receipt of a proposal. If the review process will
be longer, the Foundation notifies the applicant of the expected
final response date.
