Important Information for Groups Seeking Meyer Funding
For all applicants:
The economic downturn has had an impact on the Meyer Foundation's grantmaking. We strongly suggest that before submitting a letter of inquiry (LOI) you read our open letter to the community that we released earlier this year.
Meyer's ability to support capital campaigns, new projects, and organizations that have not previously been funded by Meyer is extremely limited. If your organization has not recieved a grant from Meyer within the past several years and you are planning to submit an LOI, you should be aware that your submission is unlikely to result in a grant.
For health and mental health applicants:
Meyer Foundation is beginning a new partnership with the Consumer Health Foundation which will manage the application review process for Meyer's health and mental health grants in 2010. Beginning with our October 2, 2009 deadline, Meyer will not be accepting LOIs in the health and mental health program area.
APRIL 2010 UPDATE: The Consumer Health Foundation has extended invitations to the health and mental health groups that the Meyer Foundation will consider for funding in 2010. If your organization has not been contacted by the staff of the Consumer Health Foundation, you will not be considered for funding this year.
