Grant Cycle Overview
Traditionally, our grant cycle begins in the spring, providing nonprofit organizations the opportunity to apply for funding and volunteer support. The application period is open for 3-5 weeks, after which submissions are carefully reviewed by our board. We strive to notify grantees of their awards within approximately 6 weeks from the close of the application period.
Funding and Volunteer Support
The Addium-METER Foundation offers grants typically ranging from $1,000 to $5,000, accompanied by 80 to 400 volunteer hours. We are also open to considering requests for larger or smaller amounts, depending on the scope and impact of the proposed project.
