3. The Robin Hood Foundation generally
funds nonprofit organizations with a clear
concept of what they want, a strong
leadership system, and respect in the
community. As applications are
accepted throughout the year, there is
no specific deadline for applying for a
grant from The Robin Hood Foundation.
However, decisions are made by the
board on a quarterly basis.
4. Organizations that are serious about
applying and have reviewed all applicable
information are advised to speak to a
Grants Manager at The Robin Hood
Foundation before submitting an
application. First-time grants usually range
between $100,000 and $200,000, and each
organization that receives a grant should
be prepared to record the effect of the
grant money on the organization.
