ELIZABETH TOON CHARITIES BENEFICIARY APPLICATION

GRANT APPLICATIONS ARE BY INVITATION ONLY FOR 2026 (Step 1)

This year, grant applications will be accepted by invitation only. Organizations interested in applying may request an invitation by submitting a formal Letter of Intent (LOI) in PDF format to our Executive Directors using the contact information below.

Letters of Intent will be accepted from June 1 through June 30. Selected organizations will be invited to submit a full grant application.

Please include the following information in your Letter of Intent:

  • Organization Name

  • Contact Information

  • Executive Summary

    • The Executive Summary should mention key elements of the proposal, the overall mission and work of your organization and the impact this grant request will have. This document will, in essence, tell the story of your nonprofit and request in a summarized form. Please keep the summary to 500 words or less.

  • Grant Request Information

    • Title of Grant Request

    • Description of Grant Request (250 words or less) 

    • Amount of Grant Request

    • Total Project Budget

Upon reviewing the letters, our Executive Directors will reach out by or before July 10 to request a formal application submission. You will have until August 15 to complete the application. If you do not hear back from us with an invitation to apply this year, we encourage you to reach out next year.

APPLICATION (Step 2)

Elizabeth Toon Charities accepts the Common Grant Application supported by Communities Foundation of Texas. Please review the application carefully as we included slight changes that apply specifically to our organization.

As a reminder, current policy requires each grant recipient to sit out of the process for two full grant cycles after receiving funding. For example – Beneficiaries that were selected for 2026 are eligible to apply again in 2028 (pending submitting formal letter of request to apply as seen above).

SITE VISIT/INTERVIEWS (Step 3)

After your application has been submitted, Elizabeth Toon Charities will contact you to complete a site visit or phone call to review the request and ask any further questions. We will not schedule these calls/site visits until your application is complete.

You will receive a letter stating the status of your application by the middle of November.
