Policies & Procedure |
The Herbert A. Templeton Foundation requires that all grant applications be submitted through its grant portal. Application packets mailed or otherwise delivered via email are not accepted.
The Foundation processes grant requests in two cycles each calendar year. There are two submission deadlines in March for the Spring cycle and October for the Fall cycle. Organizations may submit only one request per calendar year.
The Herbert A. Templeton Foundation is now receiving applications online for its Spring 2025 grant cycle. The application deadline is Tuesday, March 25, 2025, by 11:59pm PST.
Prospective grantees interested in applying must be registered through the Foundation’s grant portal at Templeton Foundation by the above deadline, whereby the portal shall close thereafter until the next grant cycle. Submission prior to the deadline is encouraged. As the Foundation operates with limited resources to ensure its focus on grant funding, incomplete applications will not be considered and noted as abandoned, whereby the applicant may reapply in the following year, depending on the grant cycle.
Completion of the online application must include the following documents which are required to be uploaded with the application:
- project budget for the period the Foundation’s funding will be employed, which must include secured and potential funding sources relevant to the project;
- organizational board approved budget for the current fiscal year, prepared on an accrual basis;
- fiscal year-end financial statements for the last two completed fiscal years prepared on an accrual basis;
- current fiscal year financial statement with comparison of actual to budget for the Statement of Activities, prepared on an accrual basis;
- a list of the organization’s board of directors, officer role, and their affiliations.
Additional instructions on the above documents are provided in the online application. Should an applicant be awarded a grant, the Foundation uses the payment platform BILL to effect payment via ACH. The applicant organization will be required to set up an account with BILL and provide its banking information during the setup process in order to receive payment of the grant award from the Foundation.
Following the approval and receipt of a grant, the Foundation requires the grantee to submit a report describing the successes and challenges for which funding was granted, including measurable outcomes in tracking the performance and impact of the project on youth. The report shall be due within nine months of the grant award date and would be expected to be submitted before reapplying for the organization’s next eligible annual grant cycle.
Please also note as the Foundation is a tax-exempt organization and it is therefore not necessary to send or mail a donation acknowledgment letter or IRS form 1099 to the Foundation.
If you should have any questions, please email info@hatfoundation.org or call 503-962-9624.
