Frontier Fund FAQ

What is the process to apply for funding?

You should first review our Ideals and Values page in order to see whether your proposal matches up with the Foundations’s mission and goals. If you feel your project is a good match, the next step is to contact us via email with a Letter of Inquiry. Letters of Inquiry are accepted on a rolling basis.

Based upon the information in your inquiry, we may invite you to submit a full proposal Application regarding your organization’s project and goals.

What happens after you’ve received the Letter of Inquiry?

We will send an acknowledgement email once the inquiry has been received. We will respond with a determination on whether you are invited to submit a full proposal Application within 30 days.

How long does it take to make a decision on full applications?

We will notify you of our decision within 60 days of your received application.

Do you make grants to individuals? 

No, we can only grant to organizations that have IRS 501 (c) (3) status, or have an affiliation with a Fiscal Sponsor.

What is a Fiscal Sponsor?

A Fiscal Sponsor is an organization that qualifies as an IRS public charity 501 (c) (3) and can accept funds on your behalf. The funds are then re-distributed to your project, thus ensuring a tax-efficient transaction for the Frontier Fund.

You may submit your proposal without 501(c) (3) status and without a Fiscal Sponsor. However you will need one should your application be accepted.

Do you accept applications from International organizations?

Yes, we accept International organizations. However, if you are based internationally and do not have IRS 501(c) (3) status, you will need to work with a Fiscal Sponsor who does.

You may submit your application without 501(c) (3) status and without a Fiscal Sponsor. However you will need one should your application be accepted.

If my application is denied, can I re-submit it?

We accept only one submission per project proposal.

Can I make changes or update my application while it’s under review?

If a decision is still pending and you have more information that would make a material difference to our evaluation, you are welcome to send us the update and we will do our best to incorporate that information into our evaluation process.

Do I need to request a specific amount of money with my application?

Yes. We want to best match the grant to your requirements.

When are the awards announced?

The awards are announced on a rolling basis, beginning January 2016.

Can I check on the application progress or discuss?
