Grants are awarded twice a year in the spring and fall. Applications are due on May 15th (spring) and November 15th (fall). If either of these dates falls on a weekend or federal holiday, applications are due by 5:00 p.m. on the preceding business day. Trustees review and evaluate all applications for a particular grant cycle after the submission period closes and render funding decisions soon thereafter. All applicants will be notified by mail whether or not the Trustees have approved the requested grant.
Grant amounts vary widely and are determined by the applicants’ size and need as well as the Trust’s annual grantmaking budget. They have ranged from as small as $1,000 to as large as $20,000.
The David Greenewalt Charitable Trust is operated exclusively for charitable, scientific, literary, educational, and religious purposes. All eligible grant applicants must be an organization entitled to a tax exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
