Funding decisions

  • Funding decisions are made by the Board of Trustees throughout the year. However, to be considered for the current year, Strategic LOIs must be submitted by September 15th, Discretionary applications by October 1st and Strategic applications by November 1st.


Grant reporting

All grantees must submit a final report detailing the impact and outcomes of their Walters Family Foundation-funded initiative. Interim reports are required for all grants over $50,000, as well as for select projects, as determined on a case-by-case basis. For organizations awarded a multi-year grant, an interim report is required prior to receiving any subsequent payments.

Current grantees, please submit your interim and final grant reports through the online portal and refer to your grant agreement letter for details about your reporting schedule.
