Step Four: Review Process
You will receive an email confirming that your proposal was received.
During the review process volunteers will research your request through telephone inquires, emails, meetings or site visits. They may speak with your staff, board members or outside experts.
Proposals that do not provide all required information will not be considered.
The Grants Review Committee will review applications as objectively as possible. Depending on the level of funding available, the Grants Review Committee will submit all pre-selected grants to the Kingdom Investment Foundation general membership for review and vote in November.
Grant proposals that have not been accepted are not automatically re-submitted for the next funding cycle. If the grantee desires to re-submit a proposal, an updated Grant Application Form and Project Summary Description must be submitted.
All grantees will be expected to submit a final grant evaluation report. Details on the grant evaluation report will follow after a grant is awarded.
Kingdom Investment Foundation will make every effort to respond to your application within a reasonable amount of time.
