Solicitations (applications for grants) must contain certain basic information about the applicant, be signed by an official of the applicant and be addressed to the F. M. Kirby Foundation. The Foundation has no required application format, but believes that a solicitation should include:
- a report on the use of previous grants received from the F. M. Kirby Foundation, if applicable
- a report on current activities
- a declaration of the amount sought
- a full description of the reasons for the current solicitation
- an assertion as to whether the funding solicited is for general operations, a specific project, capital needs or endowment
- a roster of directors (trustees and principal officers)
- a copy of the current annual budget
- a copy of the most recent independent audit
- a copy of the most recent Internal Revenue Service tax exemption letter
Solicitations will be accepted throughout the year and grants issued at convenient intervals thereafter. Solicitations received after October 31st will be held for consideration the following year.
Because of the volume of solicitations and staff limitations, the Foundation does not inform unsuccessful applicants of decisions.
