Spring 2012 Grant Round–closed
The Trust is accepting LOIs for the Spring grant round. The deadline to submit an LOI is January 2, 2012.
Update on Invitations to Submit Full Proposals
Like many of you, we were without power for several days (thank you, Irene!). These weather emergencies have delayed review of the LOIs and decisions about full proposal invitations.
Please be assured that we will send proposal invitations as soon as possible and will extend the deadline for submission of full proposals in proportion to the delay. You’ll still have plenty of time to respond to the invitation when it’s ready. We also expect to make grants by the end of the calendar year as usual, so award dates shouldn’t be affected.
LOIs for Fall Round 2011
The LOIs for the Fall Round 2011 (2011B) have all been logged in. If you submitted an LOI by the July 1, 2011, deadline, you should have received an email acknowledging receipt. If you submitted an LOI and have not received an email acknowledgment, please email info@corinahigginsontrust.org or call 301-283-2113. (BTW, thanks to all of you who submitted in a single PDF format. It made the log-in process so much easier in this round!)
