Carl B. & Florence E. King Foundation: Application Requirements

Application Requirements

The grant application process at the King Foundation includes two steps. Applicants must first submit a letter of inquiry and then be invited to submit a full proposal. The Foundation does not use a form for either letters of inquiry or grant proposals. But we do require that applications include certain information. For the required contents of letters of inquiry, click here. For the required contents of grant proposals, click here.

The King Foundation welcomes introductory calls from groups interested in applying for a grant. The Foundation awards grants twice per year.

The Foundation must physically receive the letter or application at our office by 4:30 p.m. on the deadline. Each submission must be complete as of the deadline. We will not accept requests that are postmarked by the deadline but delivered after that date. If the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline will be extended to the next business day.
