The Foundation accepts Letters of Inquiry (LOIs) on a continual basis and awards grants three times a year. See the Grantmaking Guidelines page for instructions on how to submit an LOI. It is recommended that you contact the Foundation to discuss a proposal prior to submitting an LOI, especially if your organization has not previously worked with the Foundation.
