Foundation Policies
In an effort to promote good governance and fundraising practices, the Browning Kimball Foundation may limit grants to four (4) successive years. At that time, the Board may decided to cease funding. Browning Kimball Foundation grantees are encouraged to maintain a large funding base and not become reliant on one funder.
Application Process
- Letter of Inquiry
We use this step help prioritize the grants that the family has a serious desire to fund. The application is web based and user friendly throughout the entire process. - Grant Application
We ask organizations to make a full application detailing financial information, board governance and program description. The board reviews these applications at their Fall meeting and makes funding decisions. We make a point to get in touch with everyone with feedback about granting decisions.
